      attendance. If they’re not there when I call their name, I have to note it to their employer (apprenticeship) online. If they text me, I know they’re going to be in class shortly.

      If students are showing up late, it often makes sense to chat with the on-timers instead of starting the lesson, especially if the first activity is instruction-heavy; involves an exercise with reading aloud, group discussion, or presenting; or requires breaking students into groups. Ideally the actual first activity doesn’t, but that’s often just directed chatting and you can extend that until everyone’s arrived. If they’re going to be 15+ minutes late, it might be better to just start the activity and time it so they can join on the next one. If you don’t know if they’re coming at all vs just coming late, it can be hard to time the actual beginning of the class.

          Teacher gives number to students.

          Students are to inform teacher if they’re going to be late to class.

          One kid prank calls teacher.

          Teacher knows it’s the kid because of his voice and now knows prank caller’s phone number.

          Not sure where in there the teacher is collecting student phone numbers.
