Episode 2 – Cell Phone Use by Students
Procedure: Students are required to turn off and store cell phones in designated areas (e.g., lockers or backpacks) during school hours. Teachers will enforce this policy, and any violations will result in confiscation of the device until the end of the day. Repeated offenses may lead to parental meetings and further disciplinary actions.
Policy: Define rules for student cell phone usage during school hours to minimize distractions and maintain a focused learning environment.
