Message: [QUOTE="M.S.G., post: 4659115, member: 10660"] I teach in Massachusetts, but as for my time in CT I don't see much of a difference, phones are an absolute epidemic. I know it takes 10-15 years to classify something as an "addiction" but for this generation of upper middle school and high school students it is ridiculous. Outside of my Honors kids, they are basically incapable of putting the phone down for 5-10 minutes. I wish my school would grow a pair and make an actual policy, and I pray that DESE truly takes this seriously. I love the fact that they have access to Chromebooks every class all day, but they spend most of their time watching YouTube or playing games. I just don't know what the answer is, I truly don't. I love the advent of Google Classroom and Google Drive, it has taken my instruction and ease of access for kids and material to another level. I couldn't imagine teaching without it, so this is truly a gift and a curse. [/QUOTE]
