That's what I said - ask them to put it away, pull them out of the class, but don't touch the phone.

Honestly, it sounds like you're just fishing for reasons to ban phones because you personally don't like them and are unable to respect students as people. Not sure what you mean about the reliability - the apps are more reliable

Isn't it more expensive to have many people poll frequently?

I'm right in the middle of Europe. Why not bring it in? I don't understand why they should behave as if they lived in 19th century. They're people living in 21st century, making full use of new technology - nothing wrong abou

I'm not sure what you mean, it's clearly true where I live.

There doesn't need to be any advantage. They're not causing any disruptions - nobody should be telling them where to put their property. A phone contains private photos and conversations, has authorized access to email, chat and (

A phone contains private photos, conversations, has authorized access to email, chat and social media accounts, it's a second authentication factor, it has payment cards, saved passwords, browser history, potentially health data (for e

Try SwiftKey... Not the same but I can do it without looking that much - and one-handed.

There is a lot to debate. I don't agree with this "addiction" argument at all. My siblings (much younger, school age) don't have social media by their own volition. Apparently they're immune to this addiction - or p

And that definition is not up to either schools or teachers, but parents and potentially the students (depending on the parents).

The device might be legally obtainable but using it in a way that affects the public (which includes the students) is a serious crime anywhere in EU. I'd guess it's the same in the US.

You said that if there is a legitimate need they can call the school office or have the office call the parents - so I'd expect the office to handle it. For myself it was mostly that parents could simply call me 5 minutes before they p

As a student (over a decade ago) I had hundreds - maybe even thousands over the 13 years of education, actually - of phone calls with my parents, siblings, grandparents, uncle, friends etc about various stuff I was doing after school, durin

It's a worldwide thing. I'm in a country neighboring Germany and it's perfectly normal that everybody has a smartphone. The schools have policies that it has to be turned off but they can't touch the phone at all.

You have no idea what site is it. Perhaps it's an interactive game or a questionnaire. POSTing that data to a server is much worse than running some clientside code. Your post is not productive at all.

But that's missing the point again! If you do that, you will never reach the release with your perfect app because you wasted that time and effort on making an unusable mockup and there might be no money left to do the actual app. Thos
