Growing number of schools requiring students to lock away cellphones while in class

Middle and high school students in an Alabama school district are now required to lock away their cellphones in pouches before the bell rings. NBC News’ Marissa Parra has the details as schools across the United States implement new rules to prevent students from going on their phones in class.

    I grew up without a cellphone when I was in middle school and high school (cell phones weren't a thing back then) and it's not something these kids need while in school. If anything it makes you have more self-control and discipline that you can't just use something that you are addicted to using because that's all it is. Cell phone use is an addiction. It isn't needed, it's just something you want. I want to eat bacon everyday, doesn't mean I should be doing that.

    why do we not look into why children prefer cell phones to class work. long before Iphones children were bored out of their minds in school, they just passed notes or daydreamed...I suggest that if schools taught hands on survival skills, children would be very enthusiastically engaged....gardening, wood shop, nature outings, of course, academic subjects too...but cell phone use is more a SYMPTOM than a cause, the cause is ROTE LEARNING... kids were just as bored with the useless memorize and spit it out crap in the 80s as they are today. they just smoked cigarettes in the restroom rather than texting during class. if kids had their hands in soil and on jigsaws hammers and paint brushes, they would not be reaching aimlessly for cell phones. they could then grow up to be artisans and gardeners and homesteaders rather than just mindless pencil pushers and reckless consumers. Iphones actually serve to prepare children for this ugly toxic consumer paradigm.

And parents...please stop running to the school to bail your child's cellphone out of cellphone jail.

    @esils I teach 135 students in 6 classes. Enforcing cellphone rules from 8-3. Confiscating phones when rules are violated is a daily occurrence and an interruption of the learning process. You got to confiscate the phone, find someone to cover your class, take the phone to the office, and then call the parent. Sometimes the students behavior is egregious and they escalate matters because they argue or fight over phone. Phones are a more of a problem in the classroom than a benefit in case of emergencies. 8-3 every day put your phone up, stop texting, stop listening to music, turn your phone off, don't take calls from your parent or guardian. Every day. Locking the phones up at the start of the day is less stressful on all. And let's not forget the angry parents you deal with when you take the phone. Bullying, inappropriate pictures, inappropriate usage, cheating. Please tell me what harm does it cause to either leave the phone at home or lock it up at the start of the day. When parents tell me they tired of phone calls about a phone, I tell them there is a simple solution. Take the phone. You get calls because the child violates the rules. If the child can't respect the rules, take the phone. But nobody wants to take the phone away.

    The kids down here in Uvalde having access to their phones provided the (useless!) LEOs on scene with vital info about what was going on in the school. Decades before cells phones, when my kid was in a NM school with an active shooter, a phone would have allowed her to let us know she was ok. It would have saved us nearly 3 hours of terror not knowing if she was alive. Parents now have that line to their kids in an emergency.

    it looks like they can still press any outside buttons on the phones so at least have the kids learn that there is an emergency function you can use by pressing the buttons a certain number of times and it should contact authorities and I think also turn on location of the phone. It's used incase of kidnaps or emergency situations where the person can't clearly make a call.... that feature could help put some parents at ease to some extent. I'm pretty sure all smart phones have the feature but may need to be turned on

    or maybe teachers are the biggest headaches? why do we not look into why children prefer cell phones to class work. long before Iphones children were bored out of their minds in school, they just passed notes or daydreamed...I suggest that if schools taught hands on survival skills, children would be very enthusiastically engaged....gardening, wood shop, nature outings, of course, academic subjects too...but cell phone use is more a SYMPTOM than a cause, the cause is ROTE LEARNING... kids were just as bored with the useless memorize and spit it out crap in the 80s as they are today. they just smoked cigarettes in the restroom rather than texting during class. if kids had their hands in soil and on jigsaws hammers and paint brushes, they would not be reaching aimlessly for cell phones. they could then grow up to be artisans and gardeners and homesteaders rather than just mindless pencil pushers and reckless consumers. Iphones actually serve to prepare children for this ugly toxic consumer paradigm.

    I did student teaching in 2007 when I was in my late 40s, but ended up not teaching partly from disgust of how much schools had changed for the worse. I could not believe students were allowed to have their cell phones on in class and their Teacher was constantly having to discipline someone for using it at wrong time disrupting their learning. The kids went ballistic if theirs was taken from them and they could not get back till end of class. I went to school from '68-'80. There were no cell phones and discipline was still allowed in school. I think kids should have cell phones, especially if they walk home for safety reasons, but should be turned off during school. The excuse that a parent might need to reach a child is nonsense. How do you think our parents got hold of us before cell phones? They called the school and left a message. It had to be important ofcourse, but your parent shouldn't be texting if it's not important anyways. Schools are pathetic today, thank goodness I changed my mind about teaching.

Teachers take their phone into the bag, and give them back when the shool is finished. But I don't think this is 100% bset solution for students. It's 90% best solution for school. The real education begins afterschool. They are studying, learning at home. What they need the most is someone should teach them not to addicted to phone all day.

    This is stupid them students need their phones to call their parents incase of a real emergency like who cares about what the school wants them teenagers need their phones for notes and things you know it’s unfair they have to lock it away and don’t get to use it at all durning school hours that’s ridiculous whoever made that rule needs all them angry parent’s opinions

    Schools have a wonderful thing called a land line. If you need to contact them call the school LAND LINE. This shouldn’t even be a thing.
