My wife teaches HS in VA. She tried doing that and it just doesn't work.


She would spend so much instructional time policing it and then the punishments would get to the point that the kids are missing instructional time which is counterproductive. For the most part I think she takes the approach of if she sees it while she's actively engaging the class or it has become a distraction during a lab, then she will do something about it. She still has complaints though. Locking them up is another popular solution, but as others pointed it out it leads to liability issues if something happens to the phone, some other kid snags it, or, again, the emergency situation arises and all of the phones are in a desk drawer and useless.
