Jen has made a comment(s) in reference to me on her blog, yet has chosen to blacklist me, devoiding any rebuttle. So here I simply have to say: Jen, you once referred to me as an ass-licking sheep; then apologized; then took it back. I'm standing up here, because you're to cowered to let me do so where you commented using my name. I referred to y
Bad enough not to get them, many of mine have simply disappeared; more than 4000 pts vanished.
Never heard it before. Me neither
The bottom line is disruption. A cell phone, turned off, in a pocket, bookbag or purse disrupts no one. So it should be a "with priviledges comes responsibilities" thing. No one will ask for your cell phone, but if it rings during class, you just lost it. Cha-ching!
Unless power is given back to the teachers to enforce rules properly, things like cell phones have to be blocked at the door to the school (either out-right ban, or require a check-in, with harsh consequences to those who violate the ban). This is my vote as well Zoomba. Excellent reply!
This has got to be one of the wierdest things I've seen in a while, and check out that creepy mask! <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hGOTf3Xl6Qs" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparen
If you don't think institutionalizing young people has an effect on them, Uhh, isnt school itself an institution? I like to think this institution has great effect on children. <TD class="mb-Body-Quote
Religion is natural to man almost as natural as breathing. Not to be argumentative here, but I believe spirituality is natural to people where religion is about as natural as politics.
I'm not inflexible to any opinion that offers a rational alternative. You admit that phones are a useful tool for kids. NO! I admit that phones are useful tools for kids outside of the classroom. <TD
Did you get that from the funniest commercial stuff? What network is this program on. I remember the kid watching it one Sunday morning, and it was halarious!
The school's solution was, if they had their cell phone out in class or it went off, it was confiscated and they had to go to the office and pay 15 bucks to get it back. For multiple offenses, the school could also hang on to it for lengthening periods of time. <img src="../images/smiles/smile.gif" bord
Besides, when the lecture really sucks, sometime text messaging is the only thing that keeps me from going ballistic on someone. The difference is San Cho, is you are an adult, not a child. Im hoping you can see that difference; if not now, then perhaps when you have your own children <img src="../image
You make no sense. I feel that I make perfect sence. The problem being, as you are inflexible to any opinion other than your own. You are entitled to think as you please. <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-Text"
Thanks very much folks.
If you want kids treated like criminals, by all means, institutionalize them and teach them that the government is in control of their lives. No, just keep their cell phones out of the classroom. Thats all. Besides, you seem to have no problem equating cell phones, the topic of this article wit
thats interesting - the ring tones Xythe. Just goes to show where there is a will there is a way, they will use their phones if they have them on them. Not if they are not in the classroom
PS. Did you have to use the Blacklist feature yet?
I like both of you guys, and think you're both pretty remakable
Ringtones adults cant hear, but kids can
Nope, that's removing a distraction. When you toss a bum out of a bar are you "disciplining" them? I'm sorry, I cant connect an adult (bum in a bar) to a child (being kicked out of a class), but, yes, I do see a child being sent from the classroom for disrupting the class, a form of disaplin. It seems t
I know, I know. You sent your letter to Santa, telling him how good you have been all year long, along with your requests for presents you want. Well even Mrs Clause can overlook certain things as well, which may account for Santas dilema here: </par
The One Ring, as stated by ALL the wise throughout the Lord of the Rings as well as the Hobbit, is intrinsically evil. It's pretty clear that that Sauron put a great deal of himself into The One itself, and thus it's evil nature. But what does this ring actually do to make it evil? What is the nature of it's "evilness"? What is its true nature?<!-- Ju-Ancho
I don't know what the situation you are talking about wherein teachers can't take phones that are being abused, remove kids from class, etc. Maybe if you had examples. Yeah, my ex had a fit when the teacher took my daughters phone from her. I dont see that as being reasonable. Thats a 2 for one answer
As for getting in touch following after school activities, well that's just utter rubbish - parent, find out what time it finishes and then make sure you're there to pick them up, simple really. I'm sorry cind, but I simply cannot agree with you here. The cell is a great innovation when used well. I thi
