Teachers Use Cell Phones in the Classroom

Teachers Use Cell Phones in the Classroom
In my school students cannot use cell phones for all the distracting stuff that it is to be used by students that have anything to do in class, but is permitted to be used if the teacher authorizes the student use, and it is what I do with student’s cellphones. They ask for permission to look for specific things as vocabulary meaning, definitions, spelling, pronunciation, copying biographies and so on. That is how I used cellphone in class. I know sometimes they, the students use it for texting, or listening to music, but are those students that go to school just to do different stuff, not to study, s they get a referral for such conduct and get one day ISS or one hour detention.  Cell phones are permitted in cafeteria and some hallways, not everywhere. That was my school conclusion about it.
