Naughty US students texting during lessons
I think I was the only person in my school to have a mobile phone. No one used to call me on it so I didn’t bother having it on. Plus, the reception was always so bad, I hardly ever bothered taking it with me. I once used it on a trip to Paris. That impressed the girls.
Anyway, I was prompted to think back to my early days by this article here by Michael BeDan of the Aurora Daily Sun & Sentinel: Texting on the down, low
Cellular phones now double as instant messengers, cameras, stereos (if you get the dope ring tones) and web surfers for today’s generation.
And don’t think for a minute these teenagers are going to let rules interfere with their communications.
‘Don’t put it on vibrate, even,†Samantha says. ‘Just put it on silent. Then you put it inside your leg or in a backpack.â€Â
Then you tune out the dreary geography lecture and surreptitiously text message with impunity.
LInk: Here
Good advice from the students! If you have the phone on vibrate, it’ll make an audible noise you see. Better to have it on silent and check it frequently.
