Phones

Cell phones continue to be a problem in my school (and I know we are not alone). Children are constantly sneaking their phones out in class and are even taking them to the restroom (in their pocket) and getting online from the restroom stalls. We've had instances of lost and allegedly stolen phones which brings all learning to a grinding halt. I can't imagine this will improve any time soon. In fact, I can only think things will get worse and worse. Children today have the world at their fingertips and can access the internet from any place that has wifi (which is practically everywhere nowadays). Not only that, kids are taking photos and taking video recordings of everything. The problem is growing into an epidemic.
