is it too audacious to suggest you check your messages later?

teachers and EAs - you will get the best looks on your students' faces when you call them on it

This comic was inspired by my peers in the faculty of education, who, despite being educated adults, thought they could get away with texting in class. It was kinda ridiculous. However I will admit that there was something about Ed. that caused many of us to revert to school habits from younger days; we had degrees and yet couldn’t help being cliquey and disruptive and generally just like the students we were supposed to be learning to handle.

Oh and check out the lower left corner, somebody didn’t check to see if any lines were straying outside of the border… [June 12, 2012]

  1. If you’ve ever left your phone on vibrate and you got a message in the middle of class, you’ll KNOW it’s impossible to not check it. It will eat your soul if you don’t!

  2. Though I lack a cell phone, the same advice is great for playing DS wirelessly with your friends. (^_^)V Smiley raising peace sign

  3. I say “make an example” of one of the kids, and the rest will fall into line. By “make an example” I of course mean the 1540’s punishment for texting in class, which was cutting off the hands.

  4. How about that girl out int he west US who sent 14000 test messages in one month. That’s like one every 2 minutes.

    Which means she must do it in class too.
