Dealing with teens

[DWx]

Oh yeah, I forgot............Take their phones away from them once they hop off the bus and they can get them back when they walk out of the dojo...............

Don't you mean, have them turn off their cell phones as part of dojo rules?! Because, the cell phone is private property, and imho, no dojo has the right to take anyone's cell phone/private property away.

Possibly in some parts of the world, but kids are kids and they can all go into a box for "safe keeping"..........

We used to do this in high school gym class. We'd put all valuables in a lock box which the teacher would look after. Phones aren't much of a problem though. Once we're in the training hall phones stay in their bags.
