A Ring Tone Meant to Fall on Deaf Ears

Kind iof silly, when you realize that many (most?) phones have a
"vibrate" feature.



Yeah, but to a teenager, that's not as cool as putting one over on an
adult.


Somehow, I missed your original message. My students all know that I'm
about half deaf. I can barely hear a *normal* cell phone ring. I can't
hear
an alarm watch at all. So, they can 'get over' on me all they want. It
just
disrupts other students, not me.

Cell phones are illegal for use in the school where I work. If they are
taken out while in the building, the phone is taken away and given to a
principal. Then the parents are called to come and get it.

They can't have them, even if they're turned off?


Well, they aren't searched for them. But, if they take them out, the phone
gets confiscated.
