And lots of my teachers utilized us having phones by including them in games(kahoot-Trivia game) The teacher has no right to take away personal property unless you’re on it during their lecture.

    That’s exactly what her goal is, though. She even said in the beginning of the video that she’s teaching them how to step away from distractions. This is school and it’s meant to prepare students for the real world, not yet be the real world, so she’s helping prepare them by getting them used to setting their phones aside when it’s time for working. This is a skill they can take with them into the real world.

    But they aren't adults. They are teenagers. Some as young as 13. This exercise can teach then how to properly focus. Showing them how well they can focus without their phone in front of them can help them develop the skills to out their phone away on their own while doing homework or when they have an actual job. It's better than repeated detentions. Children/teenagers should not be held to the exact standard that a grown adult in an office should be.

    She clearly said in the beginning that school had been going on for months with the cell phone issue. She gave them the chance, and now had to find a solution. If kids dont wanna risk it, keep your phone in your locker. Or talk to the teacher, see if they can stash the phone in their desk. Or have the teacher check that everyone has their phone before dismissal. Easy solutions.

Lockers are sometimes not effective (example: locker is on the other side of the school or in the basement or doesn't have locker. ) What if the teacher says no ? They cannot stash there phone in there desk , then what ? Also If someone swipes there phones and they return to the class I'm pretty sure they will alert the teacher and the teacher will tell the principal and he/she will check the cameras. but most times students have hoods OR the cameras just doesn't work. What is she supposed to do exactly? Let's just say she DOES check to see if all the students have there phones and some don't. Then what ?

    I really like this idea however, I was just wondering about threft. Some kiddos are looking for an opportunity to steal and that is an ideal environment for some students. Although I teach elementary students, I have had a few kleptomaniacs before. I know phones are super expensive and I wouldn’t want to be held accountable. Maybe using a safe would be a better option. Or they could place them in a cabinet with a key. You could have dividers inside the cabinets and name slots outside of the cabinet for attendance purposes. They would put their cards in a visual location outside the cabinet to identify that they are there. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️Just a thought for those who don’t feel comfortable with having students turn in phones to an unsecured location. Thanks for the idea. I like it and would be willing to implement a variation of it.

    So many people are saying to let students have their phones and if they misuse them, punish the student. That solution is reactive, not proactive. To the negative commenters on this video: if you’re argument is to trust the students and treat them like adults, then they should be trusted not to steal the phones. Let them know that if they choose to steal something that’s well over $250, then they can deal with the legal ramifications that an adult would have to deal with.

Then, she took attendance from the pockets! It holds them accountable for putting their phone/card there because they don't want to be marked absent. Great minds think alike. lol :)

    I feel like you should let them have their phones with them but find time to teach them lessons about the right time to use them, etc. (Like you said in the beginning of the video) When they’re in college they aren’t going to have a place in the classroom to put their phones so I feel like the lessons would be useful. Also you said having the phones over in the pouches would keep them not tempted but as a student I would be more nervous about it being over there because people could steal them. Just my thoughts and I’m not a teacher but I think that’s probably a good idea for your classroom

Also, you won’t know if kids have it or not bc they could literally just say they left it in their locker and you don’t have a way of telling unless either 1. You search them (which I’m pretty sure you can’t do that) or 2. You see them on it which then is not doing anything cause that’s what you were trying to prevent, I’m a middle school student and I have teachers who do this and it really doesn’t work I think it’s much more effective to just take the phone to the office :/ but you can run your classroom however you want Edit: I also have bad health problems so I need to be always able to contact my parents from my cellphone, which I have permission to do from the school with a 504 plan

Then was told by my on campus police officer that if I tell a student to place their phone any place I am responsible for it and if it’s lost or stolen that comes out of my pocket 🤑 maybe that’s just a Texas thing. Thankfully, the parent didn’t persist with my paying for the phone. But I won’t be doing this again.

    As a lot of people have pointed out, some phones get stolen. I’d say if you catch them messing on their phone, put it on your desk or something like that. That way you have an eye on it. Kids are very creative and sneaky, and we don’t want stolen property!

    I have a changing station in our room and a cubby for cellphones. I implemented it a few months into the year. Initially, all my students would use the cubbies. After some time, I could only get students to use it if we offered bonus points for each day they put it in their. Otherwise my students typically wouldn’t use it. Our discipline policy won’t allow us to require students to put them in the cubby. Like said, I’ve had mixed results. It has improved things, but hasn’t completely resolved the issue.

    I mean if you think it’s a good idea then that’s fine, but there so many bad things about it. If your like me. I would get worried it would get stolen and not pay attention and just look at the phone pouch thing. As I was saying before. The phones could get stolen and most kids these day have those $600 iPhones and if they get stolen it will fall onto the teacher to either find the phone or pay it back. Also people can accidentally grab the wrong phone because it look like theirs.

    The charging station is a good idea! I had a teacher in high school who also made a phone cubby, but we were not required to put our phones in there. For every day we decided to hang our phones up, he would take note of who hung their phone up and those students would receive an extra credit point for that day. Students who were in class but did not hang up their phones lost a point. It was nice because it gave us more freedom- it felt like we weren’t forced into anything, and we could make the decision for ourselves, but we had incentive for putting our phones up. I feel like we wanted to comply more because of it. The points added up and when the semester ended I had like 30 extra credit points!!

It was part of just being comfortable around them, it would be on my desk, I wouldn’t be using it but it was good to know it was there because I had my phone stolen quite a few times in high school. I think just building trust would be a good idea, teaching them to be responsible and maintain self control. Just an idea!

    It's interesting to hear from a student perspective in these comments. As a teacher and someone on their phone pretty regularly, I see SUCH benefits in having to actually put my phone away. While I get it isn't convenient to do, it does help with the goal of school--learning. Part of attending school, even in high school, is to learn these healthy boundaries for how to act with technology. I do the same thing--kids may not like it BUT they do better and stay more engaged in my class when they put phones up. And for the jokesters who put a fake phone in the slot, WHEN (and I always find out who does this) I find out that they have their phone, it's another conversation! Great work!

    Emily Wynn I totally get what you’re saying but I will say that there are a lot of people, including myself, who get a lot of separation anxiety from when away from their phone. It becomes a huge distraction for me because all I can think about is my phone hanging up in a slot and not near me where I could easily access it if needed. There’s also problems with theft that can cause even more worry. Personally, I never do go on my phone in class and this would just become an even bigger distraction for me and many others.

My school has something like this and they attached it to the board with screws and reassured us countless times that it wouldn’t go anywhere. In my brothers class the pockets fell and some of the cell phones broke. The thing that makes this system work is trust, and once that phone holder fell all that trust is broken and the students refused to put their phones in it after that day.
