my opinion on the article

well i don't think that it was biased some other people might but i don't. It was well written except for the one spot and i quote "Toronto school trustee Josh Matlow noted this is the same premier who banned cellphones while driving and who forbids his own cabinet ministers from texting during meetings." Now personally i think the person who wrote this is being hypocritical, because he's talking about 2 different situations, driving do you want to see a person driving while texting and looking at thier phone rather the road? No i don't think so. do you want a person to be texting while your trying to give a presentation? well i don't. As for W-O's policy about off and away well i don't agree with that because everybody in my family has a cell phone and what if one of them got hurt and they texted me or called me for help? well according to the school i would get in trouble for using my cell phone during class. Also in math class when i was in grade 11 i couldn't do the math work from the description he gave so i would text my buddy across the room to help me with it and he would come over and explain it to me and i jotted through the work. what was a almost 1 hour lesson and i never got what we were supposed to do. my buddy came over for 5 Min's and i was able to zip through all the math work that the class was doing in about 10-20 Min's. all in all i believe that we should be allowed to use our cell phones in class. without my cell phone it's like telling me to lose my family which i wouldn't do. Some days after i school i have to pick up my niece from school or babysitters. well my sister gets her break when I'm in class how can she let me know that i need to pick her up. by the time she gets a hold of me I'm already at home and it's about a 5 min walk alone for me to get their to pick her up but about a 30-50min walk with her to get back home. I think that we should be able to text in class because we do anyway and there is no sense in stopping us from using cell phones since we just got facebook. wheres the difference just because you can monitor our texts that we send. well that's where you need to trust that if somebody is being bullied they will save the msg and show it to somebody to get help
