New Office Policy!
Parents,
Please talk with your children about cell phones. Specifically, the following: in doctors’ offices, cell phones should be off or silenced. Telephone calls can wait. Text messages can wait. When someone is talking with you, do not look at your phone; do not text someone; do not refuse to turn off your phones; do not say, ‘I’m listening,’ while texting someone on your phone. You are raising children who are the definition of ‘disrespectful.’
I have started a new policy. If your child is not willing to put the phone down, I will come back when they will. I will not compete with electronics. I feel it is so sad that I have to do something like this when parents should be the ones teaching their children what is right and wrong.
The phones can also interfere with medical equipment!
