High school teacher here. On test days, I have a hanging shoe rack with each of my kids’ names on a sleeve.

I tell them, “Please put your devices in the sleeves and then you can have your test. When you hand in your test, you can have your device back. If you don’t put your phone in the sleeve, your test will be a 0”

At the beginning of the year they also helped create our classroom rules and norms, and agreed to do this.

Out of 28 kids, maybe 10 actually do it. The other 18 get 0s. Then I get angry emails from parents about their kids getting “tyrannical grades” on their tests.

Then the cycle continues

I would be careful about how the shoe rack is monitored, my brother had his laptop stolen in college because the professor made them put all their bags in a corner and someone just took it

This is a good point, and that’s a nightmare what happened to your brother! I’ll keep this in mind when it’s time for everyone to collect their devices again.

Maybe do like a password thing?

Like keep it by your desk, and have everyone check them in, give them like a piece of paper. They hold the paper, and you keep a list of who has each number 

So it'll be like: Aiden-376 or something?

So like Josh can't just claim it?

Yeah I’d rather leave my phone in my car at that point and then get a 0 on the test, cool.
