text: To insure the fact the fact that students do not use cell phones during learning hours of school you could have teachers collect cell phones at the beginning of class. If the students drop their phones off as they walk into class it may be a very efficient way to ensure children do not have phones in class. Another way you can be sure that the use of phones is not happening during learning hours is if you have students put their phones onto the corner of their desk. This way its in your sight and you know that cell phones are not being used. You may think what if students use their phones when the teacher turns around? Students phones must be turned off during class. If a teacher turns around for a minute to write something on a board, any student would know that he or she would not be able to turn on their phones and finish texting all by the time the teacher turns around they would simply get caught. This makes the method of leaving the cell phones on the corner of the desk another good idea.
