[QUOTE="fit2btied, post: 810911, member: 6"] We are a small district with K-12 all in one building, different wings for elementary, jr. high, and high school. Not trying to be sexist, but in our jr. high hallway, there are 4 male and 2 female teachers. The closest high school hallway has 2 males and 8 females. One of the men and 2 of the women from the HS side try to enforce all the rules. In the other classrooms it's a free-for-all! Kids carry 44 oz. styro cups of soda, coffee, food of all kind, candy, etc. They are allowed to listen to their I-pods, MP3's, they wear their hats, etc. They are allowed to use their phones for classwork - calculators, timers, updating their Facebook page (which is blocked on all school computers - teachers too), as a tecnology assignment. The principal says it's up to the teacher to decide what they are comfortable with. :roll: In our jr. high hall, it's another world! We don't allow food or drink in the classroom, we confiscate any phones or other nuisance devices (anything a kid doesn't need at school), etc. We've been told we don't have to let kids wear hats in class, but that we can't legally make them take them off in the hallways before or after school. :bs: We don't even have to tell them to take them off - when they hit our side of the building, they know to take it off or lose it! They hate us now and can't wait to get to high school where they will be in charge! Hopefully, someday they'll appreciate what we're trying to teach them. Sorry - snowed out for the rest of the week. That's going to push back the schoolyear well into hay season. Oh well, I guess I could always get another real job. End of rant. [/QUOTE]
