Cellphones are a distraction in school. That well-researched fact surprises no one. What may be a surprise is to what extent they impact concentration. ksltv.com/4938...

No. Kids dont need their phones in the classroom. There is a phone in the room at the teacher's desk. Teach the kids that there is a proper time a place for phone use, and its not in the classroom. Yes, it will bother them at first, but they will get over it. These kids are addicted to their phone and we, the adults, need to act like adults and tell the kids enough is enough. Cell phones are the single biggest distraction in schools today. In my experience, trying to integrate technology and phone use has been a complete disaster. Even if we were to separate the issue of temptation and distraction by non-school related content and notifications, the kids are too reliant on their phones or their chromebook for basic tasks like order of operations, evaluating functions of y in terms of x for specified elements in the domain. These are basic high school algebra problems.

Why is there such a fear of missing a possible emergency, that we need to risk a constant distraction during class. Keep the phones in your locker!

Is there an explanation as to why are students taking their phones in class ? Shouldn't we have the cell phones in a box before going to class and have students phone free during class? No wonder we are heading the direction we are!

Dude, the tech giants want to privatize and take over public education. The kids don't need chromebooks or cell phones in math class. Focus, repetition, and analog instruction is proven to work. Chromebooks, cell phones and technology are all hooked up to the internet. The chromebook screen is just an expensive cell phone blind so teacher's can't see when kids are doing. If a teacher tells one kid to put their phone away and take their headphones out, 4 other kids will just sit there with their phones out like what you just said doesn't apply to them. It's outrageous. If parents saw how many times per day a teacher has to address the cell phone issue or the back talking that follows, they would be utterly shocked.

I feel like this experiment is very skewed purely because it isn't realistic that everyone would have their notifications on, simple as just turning most if not all notifications off, maybe leave an exception for phone calls/texts from parents if at all, keep it in your pocket and presto.

"Keep it in your pocket." If I see a cell phone out, the kid usually has their headphone in as well. If I tell that kid to put their phone away, they just take it off their desk and conceal it under the desk or on their lap. If I say, "No, take your phone and put it completely away somewhere you can not physically access it," the kids will either comply, begrudgingly, or make a scene that requires a referral. Let's say I decide to have this sort of interaction with a partucular student, there will be at least 4 other kids in the classroom with phones and headphones in pretending like what I said doesn't apply to them. In the grand scheme of things, all of this can take 15 to 20 minutes of instructional time, and sets a bad tone for the rest of class. You would think this issue would only be something a teacher would have to deal with once or twice, but this is a daily occurrence in the modern classroom.

@davidrusso6891 is absolutely right. If you tell a teenager to put his or her phone away, it might be hidden on the kid's lap under the desk or hidden in the kid's clothing or concealed in a pencil case. If you supervise the putting away, you might get a protracted argument about the kid's rights, you're not the parent, how dare you tell the kid what to do and even blatant defiance. All of this, especially a shouted "NO" distracts the other kids in the class and ruins the learning environment of the classroom which raises the question, are cellphones needed at school at all.

I would think the classroom should qualify as a" tech-free zone." On the other hand, I could see cellphones and texting being useful for anonymously receiving and answering student's questions without embarrassing people.
@BinoDist Жыл бұрын
Pupils have been asking questions and receiving answers for hundreds of years. If a pupil is embarrassed to ask a question in front of others, the embarrassment needs to be dealt with by a qualified psychologist in case that child grows up to be too embarrassed to ask for an article in a shop or for money in a bank or whatever.

I was trying to teach a class of kids when, in the middle of the lesson, a mother phoned her kid and was shouting down the phone about something the kid hadn't put away and where was it ?????? Of course the other kids in the previously quiet classroom heard her performance. Concentration went out the window. That lesson was ruined. Cellphones need to be gone completely. If they were, I wonder if the irate mother would have dared to phone the school office to demand that the runner ran to the classroom to interrogate the boy on the location of whatever it was. Doubt it.

You can use Focus function like have the focus on during school hours and turns off at the end like set focus from 9-3. I set my Focus for work and have that on in my work hours. I can only listen to music. I do agree with the cell phone ban btw

It's potentially a good idea. When it comes to any child that has special medical, dietary needs, it's the parents/guardians sole responsibility to list the needs upon each level of the child's entry into school per year as it is with providing all children's medical vaccinations records per enrollment. This includes eye, and dental records, as required. Cell phones were not invented in the 70s nor did children have cell phones during the 80s late 90s,. Children are carrying cell phones today as early as kindergarten, children do not have jobs, take care of household responsibilities, nor do they pay rent, or buy clothes nor pay for it's own educational expenses, therefore, why do patents f8nd it to be dire that children carry cell phones ? Did many of them have cell phones whiles, d8d their grand parents carry cell phones, this world 8s so full of children raising children to the point that some or most parents needs a foster parent to teach them who to be parents

Kids don’t need a cell phone in class. I remember when I was in school if there was a emergency the parents would call The school . Like what logic kids are being distracted with all the messages and text and pings that the cell Phone makes cell Phones should not be in the classroom . I removed the phone came out when I left high school . And high school was actually more fun with no technology. I would not want to be in high school to day no thanks the bullying is probably next level no no thanks. They are sending each other stupid text messages in class they aren’t Lea ing anything remember when kids would pass boys in class know it’s like they are just messaging each other ….. kids are learning nothing in school
