I know a soph high school girl who told me her classes are out of control with students even talking on their cell phones during class. She said she couldnt learn anything in them. Is it really that bad these days?

I've been in two high schools in the past 3.5 years and I can say after reading the previous posts, that I have been lucky to have very pro-education environments in all my high school years.
So it's not all high schools... at my current school most teachers forbid the usage of cell phones completely and if they go off during class, *some* of the teachers confiscate them. Only a few people bring lap tops to school; however no one uses them during class. Most times students *want* to learn the material, so we pay attention not because the teacher tell us to, but because we want to learn. :) (Notice I said 'most')

I have absolutely no idea whatsoever, being a 41 year old married housewife who graduated from high school in 1983.
But I can tell you that kids were screwing around and talking in class and passing notes and reading magazines back when I was in school ... only the technology has changed.

Mabey in some big cities but here in my Chico classrooms are pretty well managed. Someone might be on there cellphone from time to time but only near the end of the period when we have all packed up. Good control.

I don't know. I'm in college. Students are prohibited from using cell phones during class in less it is an emergency.

I'm not sure what school she goes to, i think she is exaggerating, but many students do text using cellular phones and many students show no respect towards their teachers. classes these days are very hard to learn in. You can give credit to your friend on that one
