Ummm… teachers shouldn’t care about textin cuz lots of teenagers do it, and yet never get caught so whats the point. I mean they say not to, but they still do. No way they can stop it. Even if the phone gets taken away, they’ll get it back, they never really learn they’er lesson so they do it again, and keep doing it. I think the ringer is a SMART idea (just so the phone won’t get taken away)!

“Uh.. shouldn’t they be PAYING ATTENTION in class, instead of taking calls and txt msgs? No wonder they get treated like like pests.”

You obviously haven’t been in school for a long time, have you? Anyways, I text in class occasionally. I still pay attention- it’s just more bearable when you share a few messages between yourself and a friend in the middle of a lecture on [yawn] augmented matrices.

Anyways, you shouldn’t stereotype ALL teens into a group of loud, rebellious, pesky kids. I can just see them using this in high-end clothing stores. I hate walking into any high-end store- the clerk always comes right up to me and says something along the lines of “are you looking for something?” in a not-so-friendly-get-outta-here voice. They always treat me like crap just because they assume I’m not going to buy something. My view is that even if someone looks too poor to feed themselves, they should be treated exactly the same as anyone else. It’s just common courtesy. Who knows- they could turn out to be some a billionaire.

“..but teenagers definitely ran with the idea, sending text messages to one another and receiving calls in class unbeknownst to their teachers.”

Maybe if adults treated teens with respect, teens would respect them back. What a novel idea!

sound like a great idea to me. I think teachers don’t care if the phone call is incoming, just that it not disrupt the class. So long as the students wait until after class to respond, no probem.

As to the Teen Repellant – I know where I wont spend my money… even some adults hear it and avoid these places. sometimes the device malfunctions (I guess?) because the over 50’s can hear it and find it irritating enough to avoid the place. I know my Dad (56!) complains… we just did not know why these things were in place until now.
