About forty to fifty percent of my discipline has involved technology.
Kids are using cell phones, texting during class. Students are not handing
over expensive iPods to their teachers. Students are using the Internet
inappropriately. It’s all new to us, but this behavior is totally normal to them.
Even social networking, like Facebook, that might not be happening in the school,
comes into the school and you (administrator or teacher) have to deal with the
conflict. It’s frustrating.
Teachers at the high school feel that tougher rules need to be implemented by the
administration to combat the nuisance that technology discipline issues pose.
