The age old question -- how are you handling cell phones in the school library? 

Students texting? Using them for research? Listening to music?  Is your administration backing you up on the school policy? 

How many times have you heard this: "But Miss/Mr. I am using it to do my homework/check powerschool/text my Mom/Dad/boyfriend/girlfriend/Mickey Mouse."

This week I heard a funny one: 

 Student claimed she needed to look at her cell phone to complete one of those "tell me about yourself" assignments teachers ask for at the beginning of the school year. 

Question: How many of you need to consult your electronic device to find out about yourself? 😕

Just curious. It's a tough nut to crack in schools everywhere.

HAPPY LABOR DAY WEEKEND.

Regards all,
