Cell phones...

     I just read the article "Debate rages over cellphones in Ontario classrooms" from parentcentral.ca. I think the article was very well written, the authors used direct quotes and I did not sence a bias from them. I agree with some of the things said in the article, like how it is disrespectful to use your cell phone when someone is teaching or presenting, but it's tempting if you are not interested in the subject being taught. I think WO should ease up a bit. Technology is evolving and we should keep up with it. If I were allowed to change the policy, I would make it so that they are to be off and away during lessons. I agree that it is very rude to text while someone is teaching you. If someone falls behind in work because they are always on their phones, thats their problem. I don't see a problem with using your phone if it's free work time, and if it's not your main focus.
