electronic device usage in both Elementary and Secondary Student Handbooks.
Can you imagine having 30 students on a cell phone during class; talking, texting or sexting during lessons and note taking or how about during science or language lab? Students can be very addicted to cell phones to the point that they are not paying any attention to an officer, administrator, teacher or even their parents. A student can be excused to go see a counselor or the school nurse if that upset. Many times parents lie to keep their child out of Saturday School or before or after school detention because they have to change their schedule to fit the student's consequences. Students can go to the rest room with a cell phone or can check for messages at the very end of class or during the passing periods between classes. There is Homeroom and lunch also. Many schools block Facebook and other social media as the problem is so bad now. Many teachers make students keep a room folder to show how time was spent. After student are on social media via their cell phones in every class, they go home with a homework assignment that they cannot do. Who gets blamed? The school. Who does the State blame for failure on end of course exams? The school district and/or teachers.
