5. Cell Phone Usage In The Workplace
A survey from staffing firm OfficeTeam found the average office employee spends 56 minutes per day using their cell phone at work for non-work activity. That’s 43% more than the 39 minutes most managers said they thought occurred.
Personal and social media made up the majority of the wasted time, with sports sites, mobile gaming, and shopping placing a far distant third, fourth, and fifth place.
According to:

6. Is it worth it?
28 percent of employers report that they've fired people for using the
Internet for non-work-related activity
18 percent [of employers] have dismissed employees because of something they posted on social media

9. Here at WHS:
Students are required to silence their phone upon entering the building.
Throughout the day, cell phone use is not permitted except when directed by a teacher for instructional purposes and during a student’s lunch period (in cafeteria area).
Cell phones are expected to be off and away at all other times.

10. Final Discussion Points:

connected to life after high school?
* In what ways can cell phone usage
cause people issues in their
professional lives?
