Re: [LM_NET] TAR: ipods, headphones, texting in high school

I allow IPods and headphones during our SAP (Student activity period). One is all 
Juniors/Seniors; one is Freshmen/Sophs. If I can hear the music, however, it must 
be turned down or turned off.

The Art classes ((am also Chair of the Art Dept) does allow them to listen to music 
- depending on the assignment.

Cell phones are not allowed at any time in the school - except before or after 
school in the hall to call parents, etc. If discovered any other time- they are 
confiscated and parents must come to school to get them. There is also a 10 dollar 
penalty which is sent to the Missions.


As every student has a laptop, it is difficult at times to know what is exactly 
going on. Are they watching a UTube movie for class? a slasher film, etc?  We do 
have Vision software which allows every teacher to monitor every lap top in the 
school - and we can shut them down - if deemed inappropriate.

Hello Great Brain, Do you allow ipods, headphones, texting, and so on in your 
library? What about Playaways? Do you let students check them out? Are students 
allowed to use them in school? Where I work there is a school wide rule prohibiting 
these things...It's hard to enforce sometimes though. How do you deal with it?
