Roosevelt High Takes a Stand on Cell Phones

And it's, "Put them away in class."


A reader let me know this (bold mine):

As a technology forward school, Roosevelt High School wants to help to teach and promote appropriate digital citizenship. Our school staff has overwhelmingly agreed that a consistent school-wide policy to bar cell-phone use during class time will help students stay more present and engaged in their learning. The intent is to support students in their academic success, removing a major temptation and distraction, and promoting face to face social interaction and connection.

Beginning the ’18-19 school year, all classrooms at Roosevelt High School are cell phone free zones. Cell phones can be stored in backpacks either powered off or on silent or can be placed in teacher pouches on the wall of the classroom if your teacher provides one.  

Please be advised that violations of this policy will result in progressive consequences.

The kids can still have their phones for an emergency but they just can't have them out on their laps or desk.

The reader's student and others are not happy.  I'm sure they aren't and I was told their question is, "Why does everyone have to suffer because some kids can't stop?"

 I get that but the bigger question - which I'm sure the teachers and principal at  Roosevelt thought about - is what value will it be to have cell phones out?  I think the answer is "marginal." 

Anyone with a cell phone (and I cop to it), will try to take a peek.  At a text, at an email, at a website.  Digital citizenship is an important 21st Century piece of knowledge to acquire. 

I applaud the RHS staff for taking this bold step. 

Anything new at your child's school?
