Yes, they disrupt class and cause problems for both the teacher and fellow students.  They can also cause problems with the Internet operations; if you haven't noticed that in a classroom.\n\nMany schools already try to make students turn them off during classes, and I fully support the practice of confiscating a phone that is in use during classtime.  During your own time it is acceptable; in classes you are there for one purpose only and that is learning.\n\nTo answer a previous concern, if there is an emergency during the classtime, the same time-old tried and true method would be used -- that of contacting the office.  It has worked for the past few centuries, and there is nothing to prevent that for its continued success.

I say yes because lets say your purse has your ipod in it and a hairbrush and gum and your wallet and your cell phone.... you might need those things @ school and if you just bring your backpack then you would need to take it all out of your purse... put it into your backpack....then put it back into your purse!! Plus what if you go somewhere after school??? Only you can decide if you need to bring your purse to school or not!!

I agree with everyone who said if used for the designated purpose of learning, the aforementioned tools generally assist learning more than they hinder it. \n\nJust more on the iPods: scientists reckon that listening to music whilst studying helps you associate ideas (such as academic ones) with songs you like and choose to listen to, thus aiding your ability to retain information.

How much longer is the commute? Would it be burdensome? Are you social and would you make new friends?\n\nI think you should stay at the school. You have your teachers there still, and your records. You want to be able to transition to college well, so think about where you can take the best classes and most easily process your transcripts. You need teacher recommendations. Just make a list of the pros and cons and go with whichever seems best.

I wouldn't recommend downloading music at school. Wait until you're home, so you don't get in trouble. It's taking all my might to give you a serious answer without mentioning your complete lack of intelligence. Whoops.

I have a student with hearing loss, and I can tell you easily that a day in the life of a hearing impaired person is just like the day in the life of anyone else, except...\n\nAlways sitting up front in class to be able to see the teacher's lips, or watching the sign language interpreter (how would you feel almost always having a grown up hang out right next to you?).\nDifficulty with spelling.\nMissing the cool things that happen behind you because you don't hear the sounds that tell everyone else something cool is happening... and only catching it if you happen to see other people orienting on it.\nMissing out on the true beauty of music, bird song, etc.\nHeightened awareness and appreciation of visual, tactile, and other non-auditory sensory information.\nIncreased impatience from the people around you, who quickly learn to see you as YOU, who then pretty much forget you have hearing loss (after all, it is not something visible), and then get upset when you didn't hear them talking, giving instructions, etc. (teachers, hopefully, are professional enough not to get impatient and to always be concentrating on orienting themselves to face a student with hearing impairments so that he/she can lip read effectively).\n\nIf you really want to know, get earplugs and walk around with them in all day for about a week.

Get and Ipod and get used to listening to your lectures.  Or anything else you can learn while on the go.

You have to look at school as a big game.  If you play the game, you get out with few scratches.  Do what they want and remind yourself of the good times you'll have when you're out of their class.  I had a friend who made voodoo dolls and kept them in her locker, but I don't suggest that route.  :P

You will not be able to access it at school. Another option would be a public library, our has computers.

You shoudl be able to get a computer through your school for cheap. The bookstore should be able to tell you where to go.\n\nAlso, I know that Apple offers student discounts.

It is good you are trying to get things together for yourself.\n\nTo get to school on time, prepare everything the night before. Have your clothes picked out, your breakfast picked out, your books in your backpack, etc.  Set your alarm clock and put it across the room so you will have to get out of bed to make it stop ringing.\n\nTo stay clean and neat, put away everything you used after you used it.  Don't leave school for the day if your thing are messy.  Tell your teacher you are trying to stay neat and clean and ask her if he or she can help you.\n\nGood job for trying to better yourself. You should be proud!

They think it means they can use it during school.  They are a total distraction and there is really no use for them outside of taking them on an extra-curricular event.  There should never be phones in class, and the constant use outside of class takes away from studying.  It's unfortunate but it wont end as long as parents buy them for their 12 y/o kid.
