Student who has my phone number?

I am a teacher and i have student who was bragging to me the other day that he had my phone number. I was trying to ignore him, but then he started blurting it out during class. The first part was wrong, but the last four digits were correct. I only have a cell phone, so I am not sure how he was able to get the number. I explained to him that I did not want him calling me, but I am nervous that if he really does have the correct number that he may call, or pass it out to other students. I don't think it's fair for me to have to change my phone number. What should I do?

Student who has my phone number?
i would change it. especially if you start getting calls
Reply:Ya, I wonder where he got your cell phone number.


I don't think they are available on zabasearch type sites.


I doubt he spent the money to get access to it either.


He might have spotted it written on a post-it or Rolodex on your or another teachers desk.


Or he got it from someone that you know.





Talk to your principal and his parents on this.





The boy is a shitt head.


But ignore him in class.


If he tries to call you it will likely be soon.


Just answer calls that you recognize on caller ID.


Send others to voice-mail.


Have generic (male) voice (not yours) on it.


You should not have to change your number,


a pain worse than him





Since he is a male and I assume you are female,


If he sexually harasses or threatens you over the phone.


You can file charges both thru school and on your own.





If the boy calls you, forward me his number,


I'll have my pal Vinny threaten to break his legs.


He'll cry like and baby, ask for his Mommy, pee and poo his pants
Reply:If the first 3 digits aren't correct than he doesn't really have your number after all.





If you do end up getting phone calls I would suggest talking to his parents and changing your number.
Reply:Change it....I know it's not fair but you are the adult.
Reply:Flatly tell him that you do not want to be called, ever. You do not have to explain your stance, but he must accept it.





If he decides to call you, you can file harassment charges because you already told him in front of everyone that he is not to call you. Also block all private calls and like I do, only answer numbers that you know or are expecting to receive a call from. There will always people trying to sell you something.... so changing your number isn't always convenient or reasonable. Lastly, voicemails can be used against him so always keep a record.
Reply:Don't let this kid intimidate you....at this point, he is not sure what your phone number is.


Pull him aside and tell him he is not to call you. If he gives the number to anyone, you will know the source of the information.


Then drop the subject and see what happens.


If he calls you, or you get strange calls, report it immediately. Don't negotiate with the kid, or bring the subject up again. That is exactly what he wants.
Reply:Your best bet is to change your phone number, and be very careful about who you give it to - esp. if you have to write it on a form that he might have access to. I know it isn't fair for you to have to change your number, but if you don't he's going to pass it around and you are going to start getting crank calls and calls from people you don't even know.


If you knew his number, you could have the phone company block calls from him, but that wouldn't prevent him from giving the number to other people and you have no way of knowing how far the information would spread.
Reply:i was in your shoes once,...i bluntly told the student that if my phone number ever got used in an improper manner, i now knew who to send the police to.








he shut up immediately!
Reply:What grade are these kids in? Chances are he's trying to manipulate you, ignore him. If he still bothers you try talking to the child's parent or a school administrator.
Reply:if you start getting calls go to his guidance counsler or the principal. say that you do not want the situation to get out of hand and believe that he should be talked to immediately. if the problem persists then you may have to change your number.
Reply:Students are always seeking ways to annoy you. Mine normally start by learning my first name, then my middle name, and normally someone will find out my phone number. I've get a few midnight calls from restricted numbers, but it doesn't bother me. I even had two kids show up at my parents house at 11 pm while I was doing my student teaching... that did annoy me. But in the end, if you don't feed it, it will go away.
Reply:The safest way is to change your phone number, doesn't hurt, and it's the best solution.
