In regards to the phone, it has been a losing battle for me. There is not a specific school or district wide phone policy; however, there is something on the discipline code about "inappropriate use of technology" I have honestly given up and am exhausted having to tell them to put their phones away and pay attention (I'm talking about 11th graders). Ive written up kids before under "the inappropriate use of technology" banner, but the consequences take too long to be administered and the kids genuinely do not care about getting a detention or ISS. IMO without a school wide cell phone policy and administrative support, cell phones are going to continue to be a losing battle in the classroom. I am youngerish teacher (29), and to an extent believe knowing when to use and not use a phone is a life skill in 2023. I've started to not repeat myself or engage with students on their phones and their grade will ultimately be their consequence
