A kindergarten teacher is going viral for implementing a longstanding classroom management tool — with a twist.
“I didn’t come up with the idea myself, but teachers have been sharing resources by word of mouth and websites like Teachers Pay Teachers for years. Now social media is part of that,” Sara James tells PEOPLE of her idea to put a ‘tattle phone’ in her classroom.
Across social media, teachers are putting prop phones in their classrooms, where students can air their grievances about each other and other things bothering them throughout their days. James decided to get a phone that records the messages, so she can go back and hear what her students have to say.
