    I say collect everyone’s phones at the beginning of class. Students are here to study, teachers are here to teach.

    Put that crap away and pull out a pencil, damn it.

      Ignoring the capabilities kids have by denying them lessons on technology could be a bit detrimental to their potential imo. There’s a middle ground that I offered in a response below

      Teaching a kid there is a time and place to use their devices is educational. Confiscating personal property to limit access is just creating problems.

      Also, who is paying for the $2000 smart phone that got cracked/lost/stolen while confiscated?

      As I said in a comment above, good luck not getting sued by the parents during a school shooting / emergency and their kid cannot contact them.
