How can guidance give teachers legal protection?

If it's the same as the last 'guidance' this shitshow of a government graced teachers with, it'll be functionally useless and actually make it more likely teachers and schools will get prosecuted.

NotJustANumber99 posted:My understanding of the article, maybe a different one, was that it already was. I googled, and you are right https://schoolsweek.co.uk/whats-the-law-on-confiscating-a-pupils-mobile-phone/ quote:If a teacher confiscates a mobile phone (or something else of value) from a pupil and it then gets broken or lost, who is responsible, and who must therefore bear the cost of replacing the item? Is it the teacher, the pupil or the school? And what does the law say about how long it is reasonable to withhold such items from pupils?

^^^ yeah thatjosh04 posted:How can guidance give teachers legal protection? It's not just guidance. I can't share it right now on my phone. But there's legal protection for a teacher/school to confiscate an item from a student to discipline them and if it goes missing they are not liable.

So it's basically another law that was already accounted for dressed up as a "but we already gave you xyz, you can't also ask for more pay or resources or help"

And this new guidance is not mandatory, and has 4 levels - from outright ban on school premises, down to promising to leave them at the bottom of the schoolbag during lessons, with two stages in-between. It's an absolute nothingburger.... lmao

I wish I could be in one of those body swap movies and just go back in time and punch above my weight owning everyone rather than embarrassing myself. I guess that's the point of those movies.

Someone should definitely market and sell Neapolitrans ice cream, replacing the chocolate with like a blue bubblegum or something.

My favourite ice cream is coffee (specifically from Joes Ice Cream) but I would say mint chocolate chip is nice, but overall I am fine with ice cream. As for mobile phones I had one in secondary school and I am old, now it didn’t really have the stuff modern phones had but no phones in school is going to have quite a few repercussions. How can children contact parents? In my day we had pay phones, with the analogue line switch off that even a thing anymore? And even if they did some would contact people on WhatsApp etc and they would also need to keep contact numbers etc. There are a lot of things that mobile phones also replace like overpriced calculators and the ability to look stuff up. I dunno, I think it’s a crap idea.

Everything I've heard from teachers post covid is that phones are a complete disaster for the kids' attention and keeping the classroom working together. I don't have a problem with banning them during classtime.

It's an absolute nothingburger.... lmao And schools are already able to ban phones. We ban them at my school. A student caught using it during the day gets it confiscated for 2 days. A second or third time means it is kept for longer. Students get around this by using their smartwatches which while officially banned or not challenged and you definitely see them typing on them and checking messages. They also just use their phones in the toilet.

I guess that is overpriced if you have an app on your phone for free. Kids don't need to look stuff up in class. That's what the textbooks are for They also don't need to call their parents. If there's an emergency the school office will do it for them. They can pick their phone up from the phone bin after the bell rings. I don't like pulling a "back in my day and it never did me any harm" but in this case not having a phone in school actually did me a world of good. Studies show that phones ruin concentration even if they are switched off but still in the same room as you. the science is in: they're bad. Posted from my Android

Even in 1982 when I did teacher training for a year it was one book per 5 kids of mixed ability - disaster - the most literacy-challenged kids were still sounding out the words in the first sentence when the fastest where about 10 pages further on (or would have been if they had their own textbook - meanwhile they were getting very bored and disruptive connecting the bunsen burner taps to the water taps or whatever). Also, there's a lot of science and maths apps you can get that mean schools don't have to spend precious budget on lab equipment (and lab techs - sad to say - one of my bros was a senior physics lab tech and the school became an academy, upped the head teacher's salary to some unbelievably huge amount of £, fired nearly all the lab techs and obviously the ones remaining were supposed to cover all the work, and his final red line - the head said he had to wear a tie (under his labcoat!) - that's when he walked - but I digress). Just one source of apps (I nearly applied for a job with these a few years ago). https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/browse

I'm horribly phone addicted but basically it's a wonderful crutch for whenever I run out of ability to deal with people. Which is often. Why aren't kids allowed to use them on break time at school anyway? Like, lessons. Sure. But on your own time? Is it just that if you allow them at all it's impossible to stop them using them in class? Or have kids found an awesome new way to bully each other by having phones now? I remember in my school they had to ban coins because everyone was obsessed with a game called jingles where you had to throw a coin vs someone else against a wall, whoever got it closest won both. It was classed as gambling.

Kids are vicious bastards to each other. Phones opens up more avenues to bully the poo poo of other kids, which has led to a lot of suicides over the years. Also you have a line out to whatever tiktok craze that may be dangerous, or just outright porn or gore being shown to others.
