I definitely think it’s easier to do a total ban than a partial one, so I hope it works for both of you. The funny thing is that it doesn’t take before the entire household is happily ignoring the phone, just as if it’s not ringing. The person who invented caller ID is one my heros;-).

I too try not to answer the phone during school time, but I think a full ban is the way to go. I don’t have a cell phone for the very reason that I never get around to using it, because I usually just keep it turned off anyway. It seemed like a waste of money. Not answering the phone at all duing school time is brilliant though. I still have to work on that and my own “addiction” to answering it 🙂 Thanks!!!

It’s one of those things that I think about, and decide in principle that I’m going to do, and then I never follow through. So I’m going to start doing it!

I often get distracted from school by a friend who calls, and I don’t even want to spend the time talking, but it feels rude to hang up. So from now on I’ll answer calls from my cell phone, but not my phone phone. Only my mother and my husband use my cell number anyway, so it will work out perfectly!

Thanks for the timely reminder!
