If I'm not mistaken, that's the story Stern was talking about last week. I think the teachers name is Mr. Mental isn't it?...  I'll check out the links later. Seth |

The teacher had no right to get physical. At the same time, the student (Jay?) was stupid for not having the decency to stand. If he doesn't want to do the anthemn or Pledge of Alleigance drills, that's fine. But there's no need for him (or the teacher) to be a dick.

The tale of two dickweeds... Yes, but one dickweed was within his rights, and the other one wasn't. |

Both players were just being being offensive. The student pissed off the teacher, the teacher got mad. Big Deal... Making a mountain out of a Farging molehill. I can't believe this Shit even makes the news! I swear... Ooooooooo Some kid acts like an immature brat, Some teacher gets upset... I mean holy shit, is this really newsworthy? Funny thing is I was just in Brick Township in Jersey this last weekend.

Dude, I think you're missing the point. They want to BAN cell phones BECAUSE of this incident. Now I can understand if you think this is an insignificant incident in of itself. But if they are going to inflict some consequences on the parties involved, it certainly shouldn't result in banning cell phones! They are saying "uhh, our teacher fucked up, so let's ban cell phones so that nobody can find out when our teachers fuck up".

It's still pretty stupid to me. Kids have a camera, so they behave like brats to tick off a teacher, then they film said teacher, blowing his stack. So they ban phones in this school. Maybe not to cover up the teachers behaviour, there were plenty of eye witnesses, but it might have encited the whole thing in the first place. Maybe Maybe Maybe.... It's all too retarded for me anyways hehe! I don't think they should ban cell phones, but it's all pretty trivial to me. It's not like the teacher hurt anybody...except the poor boy's little spoiled ass feelings. And if they ban cell phones in the school that would be stupid, I agree, but it's not a natural right to have a cell phone in the classroom. Jeeze! LMAO! |

Of all the different situations when cell phones should be turned off...kids in the classroom should be one of the first. Most schools don't let kids wear certain shirts or hats, bring candy/gum in class, or video games and so on because they are distractions and kids are easily distracted from their school work. Cell phones with cameras are distraction plus. So if they won't turn them off and keep them off when in class...then they should have to turn them in to the teacher at the beginning and get them back when class is over.
I think that's a pretty simple solution that falls in line with most school rules and procedures.
BTW, love your signature Brett, not familiar with the quote...but it's very cool...and the pic...;D

Yes, it is very appropriate. And I just want you to know the feeling is mutual... You know I'm just kidding..  But for everyday purposes, it works very well. I'll have to look into that album as well...is it one of their heavier ones, or like "A Natural Disaster"? Seth |

Hehe I just like to razz people because sometimes they make so much out of nothing. Everything is some plot against their very existence LOL. ;D If they look around them, their life hasn't changed one iota. But it's fun to discuss the issues...
As for Alternative 4 It's much heavier than A.N.D. Alt 4 and Judgement are Awesome!
Eternity, Alternative 4 and Judgement are All very dynamic albums with much more heavy tunes on there. Where A Natural Disaster is 70 percent Mellower songs and 30 Percent Heavy songs, these albums are the exact opposite. 70 Percent Heavy 30 Percent Mellow. And the Lyrics are the best. It is the poetry that really makes Anathema what they are though, no matter whats backing it up. Great song and lyric writers. And the I just like the vocal deliveries, emotional stuff.

Wow, we sure went off topic here...  Anyway, I went back and read Fox's reviews for them and will look into more of their stuff at some point. As far as the razzing, at least we all know it's in fun for the most part. But I do feel the need to be skeptical of everything and everyone, especially the gov't...better to be that way than too trusting IMO. I'm actually pretty conservative on many issues...like this one for example. Toughness and no more liberal crying about kids in school and this cell phone BS. If a teacher is at fault, then he/she needs to be punished...same with the kids. As a society, we've become far to easy on kids and will have a generation of pussies that can't do anything for themselves...IMO of course. See my last post in the "Pussification" thread also. Seth |

Making a mountain out of a Farging molehill.
I can't believe this Shit even makes the news!
I can. The news gives the people exactly what they are desperately searching for ... which is trash. What's even more apt is that the Asbury Park Press is the epitome of white trash journalism. I think I stopped reading that paper in 7th grade, since that was the audience it catered to.
And Brick Township High School? Oh .... how I remember the brand of scholars that I would ecounter (teacher AND student) in my daily musings of hanging around Brick Township. My ex-finace is even a sterling graduate of Brick High.
'nuff said, I suppose.

I think each school should have the choice to make any rules it sees fit to govern itself, including banning cell phones. If the kids don't like it, flock to a private school where the rules may be even more restrictive.
Or, flock to either Brick Memorial HS, Toms River North HS, or Point Pleasant HS, where they may allow cell phones in.
But also, don't be surprised when you have to pay extra money for your child to attend a school whilst living out of district.
