I spotted a recent ad in a paper and I thought yes,I could use that ! One of the things that bugs me in the class is the brats incessant use of their phones , they text,play games , take photos of themselves and me ,download music etc,etc, you name it .
What I want ,what I really need is a jammer that will kill those little electronic devils and give me some peace .I don't care how much it costs just to see the expressions on their faces when the jammer turns them into a useless piece of junk will be reward enough .
Btw,has anyone studied/researched what the long term effects are of having all those pocket phones on in such a confined area sending all those waves in our direction ?

Thats a long read isin't it ? So we should switch them off more often then , true or false?

I am shocked to hear that Turks actually use cell phones....I thought that in the entire country, there might be, what, 3 - 4 of them...

If the Turks could figure out a way to smoke them, or talk on their cigarettes, it would free up one hand, wouldn't it.

ollie, theonly time I have heard of these jammers was in Qatar. The mosques had to be fitted with them as the Qatari youth was too incompetent to turn off a phone. I really wanted them in the classroom. The management told me it was a silly idea.

What's your record for confiscated phones in the classroom. Mine is(I think) 35. .... There was only 18 students in the class

[dmb]

Probably none of them.

So can we agree then that the pocket phone is a menace and needs to be strictly controlled in the classrom ?

[dmb]

Without a doubt. I turn my phone off every lesson- why can't students?
