One must pay attention in the classroom if one is to learn. Having toys such as cell phones in the classroom is a waste of not only the student's time, but the rest of the class also.
Damn, I agree with a conservative...change your views now

Our school banned cellphones. People still bring them in but there's hell to pay if you get caught. a nice way of doing things if you ask me
