MOBILE phones in classroom or work place.....

Yes i agree with you. I dont think you should be allowed to have a phone in the classroom. However i dont see a problem with it at work. When we are adults we shouldn't be boosed around about whether we can have a phone or not.

yes i think in classrooms it do creates disturbance...bt in our work place sumtimes its necessary bt if in any meeting then v shd switch it off,

Whis is the most irritating thing to be happening in a class by this first of all we loose our concentration lecturer loose his rythm and at the end we r the looser........So as soon as i enters the coll i like to keep my mobile to switch off or silent mode...........

I always turn my cellphone in silent in mode. I agree that we all have to adhere with the phone etiquette while inside the class. This would facilitate spontaneous learning. Hearing the phone ringing only diverts the attention of the class. but this case is not exclusive for students. A lot of teachers and professors bring with them their cellphone and are even free to use it during class hours. School authorities must ban the use of cell phones, teachers and students alike are not excused.
