Q&A with Todd Weaver, history teacher
Why do you tell students to put their phone away at the beginning of class?
I want them focused on what we are covering for the day, not on their phones.

How do you feel when students remain on their phones for all of class?
I feel it is disrespectful. I give them my full attention if they need something from me so I expect the same from them.

Why do you think phones are a distraction in class?
I believe to fully understand something you need to have full attention on that and the phones distract people way too much.
