Like I said, the only teacher I ever had who effectively prevented people from screwing around on their phones excessively was that math teacher.

Was very enforceable at our school. Teachers had eagle eyes, they simply took your phone and if you were lucky they gave it back to you after class, but most of the time you had to come pick it up after school, and if you were a multi-time offender, your parents had to come get it.

my kid once stuck his phone in his underwear and told them to go for it.
i was on his side for that one, he was not being disruptive, it was outside of class i believe.

That’s when the kid gets sent to the principal, if they had any functioning sense of discipline in that room.

alas, i did not get the opportunity to laugh in the principals face.
whomever stopped him clearly had a sense of sanity.. thats its just a phone and its just a kid and its just a school and people prolly shouldnt gets so worked up over nothing.
