RE: My Students Are Addicted to Their Cellphones (and Water is Wet)

100%! We need to look at why they are seeking other things to do. Not eliminating other things to do. I mean are they going to paint all the windows black and put blinders on all the kids? Or should they check their lessons and see why kids are so bored?

Yeah, I totally agree. I think teachers need to learn to adapt a bit more too. There are some who do it great, but then there are those who are still using the same lessons they did five or ten years ago and it just doesn't work. Kids don't learn the way they used to, they need more and teachers need to be willing to give it to them. I've been trying to get a technology coach on staff for close to two decades now which I think would help teachers create those engaging lesson plans, but the district never has the money for it. We have a fancy new soccer field though...
