And those people work in IT now.
I remember when calculators weren't even allowed. Or when you'd take a test and the teacher would come by and watch you clear the memory to make sure you weren't cheating.
Considering technology now?
On the flip-side however, I also think schools should incorporate a class of technological literacy. This is the future and these kids are by and large being left to figure it out for themselves.
But I hear what Malcolm is saying. He doesnt want to risk his career trying to physically remove something from a kid and then have to deal with the consequences.
Man...I remember if my teacher called my house because I was in trouble I'd be the one getting smacked around by my parents, and now its the teacher who would be in trouble....when did this switch flip?
