Got A Cell Phone?

Since most classrooms don't come equipped with a phone, if you have a cell phone, put it to work in your classroom. Obtain a list of all of your students' phone numbers (Home and parent's work) from the front office. When little Johnny misbehaves in class, don't write him up, don't give him detention. Call his parents right there in front of the class and explain to mom or dad what Johnny is doing. Make Johnny get on the phone in front of the class. I have done this. It is well worth the cost of the calls. It works when nothing else seems to!
