why do people think suspension is better than getting a phone taken away? Yes, let's take the kid OUT of school so he can't learn instead of taking away the distraction! makes perfect sense.

People seem to be missing the fact that kids not paying attention in class isn't caused by cell phones. It's caused by classes being f*cking boring. Cell phones are just one of many different ways kids choose to occupy their minds during class. Before cellphones, kids had other distractions, like pot, drawing pictures of the gym teacher with a [censored] in his ear, and even good old fashioned daydreaming.

it is a bit different in that cell phones actually distract others in the class also
