Controversial Rule - No Electronics.

a rule that I think should be modified is the no electronics rule. I understand if we are not allowed to use them during class time when we are learning because they can be a distraction, but they are also very good tools. most ipods, phones etc. now have internet integrated in them and can be useful for using a dictionary or looking something up and all in the palm of your hand. we should be granted the privilege of using our new technology for things like that. Also, some of us finish tests or quizzes faster than others, we do not like just sitting there staring at the clock. We would like at least something to listen to. That we would not become impatient and become a distraction by tapping our pencil or foot or anything of that sort. We have been surrounded by all of this technology practically since we were born, we have adapted to it.
