I have parents who sometimes text their children during the school day and insist they respond but I don't let kids have their phones out. What should I do?

I would recommend that you tell students they can respond at the end of class/during passing periods. If it gets serious with the parent, you should get back up from your department head or principal.

What is the school policy? If no phones allowed then send a nice reminder home. Our middle and junior high have a zero phone policy during the day. High school, phones are a major pain. Now if the state passes this new law where we can’t discipline for language or being spoken to demeaningly, there goes student conduct codes!

We have a no phone policy from the first bell until lunch then from the end of lunch to end of school. Students can either respond at lunch or if it’s an emergency the parents can call the office

Isn’t there a school policy about this?

Take their phones

Does anybody else have clients that want to be “innovative” and “disruptive” but the second you share a really cool, insightful, big idea with them that’s on strategy they proceed to fumble like fools and just want to focus on basic block-and-tackle tactics and never actually do anything that’s innovative?

I’ve been dealing with this for years and I never understand why some clients sell themselves as disruptive when they’re scared to do anything daring or spend any money.
