unless you got security pat down searches, they not surrendering their phones when they enter the classroom.It’s not phone taking. It’s a conditional release to enter the classroom. Every semester a teacher issues a syllabus. Put it in writing, and make it policy for the course. At the end of each period you get your phone back. It’s a one sized fits all thing. No one gets special privileges. No one takes priority. Teachers have to exercise control of their classrooms and if taking the phone out of the equation at the beginning and releasing it back to the student at the end keeps peace in the classroom it’s a win.
It’s a much better option than cutting Wi-Fi and shyt.
little kids not working with an honor system outside of that. they'll just say they don't have a phone and try to sneak it into class anyway.
and when you try to collect it then, they will be fighting anyway.
