The Ipod and Cellphone it has become a cultural icon in Music, Communications and ...in classrooms But if it is so popular why do teachers confiscate.
Simple answer "Its disrupting the class" says who oh maybe it's the loud mouth screaming teacher who tells the student to put it away or give it up.
I have been in a classroom environment where the only person "disrupting" is the teacher himself but why is it because they have power, time , or they just want to be the meanest teacher on the block.
Most schools require all electronic equipment to be put away where not visible but the nicer teachers let you have it out as long as it is not to loud and you are not talking but there are a select few teachers, mainly in the low scoring areas, who disrupt and don't even teach.
Some spend the entire class time sending people out or writing detentions because he or she just doesn't want sight of an electronic equipment.
So people who belive the teacher is always right if you were a student for a day one class with the nice teacher and another with the “angry man” you would see the difference even if the whole classrooms behavior is the same.
