    Wouldn’t make a mite of difference to me unless they’ve already prooven they’re not responsible enough for a smart phone. Can’t expect them to learn to stay focused if you eliminate all possible distractions, your just setting them up to fail for once they get old enough to make and buy their own distractions.

      Keep in mind that teaching the students to deal with distractions isn’t the teachers job. They have a list of teaching standards and goals they’re expected to achieve, and they’re expected to provide the most effective environment and instruction available to meet those standards. Eliminating distractions is an extremely obvious and practical way to do that.

            The sign of a man who commented on a chain without reading shit, and got caught. Just slinging some insults, and not even good ones. If I were you, other peoples apples would be the last thing im concerning myself with.
