KingGibbs Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I feel so bad for teachers these days...they are essentially powerless, and whenever they try to do something, they get called out and ostracized. My cousin lasted one year as a teacher. Why? "**** you *****." I ain't doing ****." "I'll kick your ass *****." That's why. She told me she would go home crying. My generation was far from perfect, but at least we respected our elders. Today's generation? Hardly respectful. Not all, but a majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chow184 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 but really, arresting a 14yr old girl for not telling you she had a cell phone? i still think thats kind of harsh. its not like she was hiding drugs or a gun, it was a cell phone. i just think they went a little overboard on this one... it's harsh but what kind example would it set if the school just left her alone?You're not hearing the whole story either. the cell phone rule is one of the few I actually agreed with in HS,it's annoying to hear or see someone constantly texting. Girls rarely ever got caught because they'd use the purse technique. they keep the phone in the purse while texting and nobody sees anything. *she got caught *teacher asked for her to hand the phone over,she says no or she doesnt have one. *calls security,she continues to resist,they arrest her. I would have just taken her down to the office,and called her mother saying she was causing a disturbance in the classroom,but who knows how defensive she was getting with security. you ever try to come between an immature teenage girl and her cell phone?you let one brat get away with it,and they will all try the same BS.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I'm not an apologist for this upcoming Entitled Generation....however, I still don't understand what would cause someone to get arrested for texting. What could she have possibly done that was a crime? Oh well, if she was being that disruptive, I'm not going to shed any tears for her...I just don't know what law she broke!

Redd Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Shouldn't be allowed to carry a cell phone while in school.Shouldn't be allowed to have them turned on. This was the rule we had in high school growing up. They even took you cell phone away and didn't give it back unless your parent picked it up even if it was off. We got by just fine using the school pay phones back then when we needed to call a parent to pick us up after practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 According to the article she was arrested for "disorderly conduct," which could mean just about anything. but i think the disorderly conduct was disrupting the class and lying to the security guard about having a phone. are those really reasons to arrest a teenager?

Coooleeey Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Shouldn't be allowed to carry a cell phone while in school.Shouldn't be allowed to have them turned on. exactly. I don't understand why the schools are allowing this crap. It leads to all of them not paying attention and even more disrespect towards their teacher. I think more of the little punks should get arrested for it. I'd turn in my 15yr old nephew, hahahaha. Ok I wouldn't turn in my nephew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattFancy Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 I think it's extreme as well,but you don't know the situationschool security basically has the right to go through any of your belongings once you get to school. wouldn't really surprise me if they tried to take her purse and she physically wouldn't let go. causing it to become a serious problem. I've seen stuff like this happen when I was in school,doesn't surprise me. it says the her phone was in her "buttocks area" so they had to physically search her. i just think they went through way too much trouble. i would've said fine if you don't have a phone and we here about you texting in class again we're taking the phone and you'll get suspended. there was no need to arrest her and search her for a cell phone. thats just my opinion...

Skinsfan1311 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Oh spare me. Keep in touch? You mean the constant LOLZ, OMFG, BFF? Pick up the phone and talk and actually "communicate" with someone. They wonder why kids are so ****ing fat these days. Myspace, Facebook, Texting, video games and hours of tv. They don't ****ing move anymore.Okay, I feel better now. Use your cell phone, when it will bother nobody else. Be conscience and courteous to others. . I agree with both of these quotes.

Bubble Screen Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Outside of places where you are supposed to be paying attention like school, there is nothing wrong with texting. It helps kids stay in touch with their friends and helps them communicate. There is nothing wrong with kids being social and equating it to a drug is just inaccurate. What kind of adverse effects does this have? The only problem I have with texting is that people use shorthand and generally the conversations don't even look like they are in English. And I have to wonder if that doesn't carry over to their regular writing in class and whatnot. Its a lazy form of communication. I usually text the way I would write something, in general. That way I don't get into a habit of using bad grammar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go back and change the to's to 2's and the and's to &'s (for example) to cut it back to one page. So ****ing lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, by chance, you were mocking me, I would add that I don't usually write that many words per text. I keep it short. But, yeah, if a person has a lot to say, using the shorthand approach is the right way to go. Then again, why not just call the person if that's the case?
