This teacher is 100% in favor of a phone ban. I think districts are most afraid of parent pushback. I wish parents would be more vocal about supporting this. Thank you for leading the charge!

Yes. This *should* be a no-brainer, but sadly it isn’t. Phones in schools equals little to no learning actually taking place.

Yes. I taught briefly at two different public middle schools (2015-2018) and there was no real, district or school-wide enforcement beyond teachers saying a million times a day “put your phone away”. It was truly a disaster and that was years ago!
