Anyway, I was wondering what you all feel about portable CD's in the
classroom? ....
Barb F.

I let my advanced 8th graders bring in their own CD players and it usually
only amounts to 2-3 kids a class anyway. It's usually the ones with the
flapping lips so it's actually a "good thing". They don't socialize nearly
as much and put more energetic effort into their work. I've seen this time
after time work. Sometimes I wish I could give everyone in the class a
CD-player!! As long as I don't "see" it out/displayed on the table, I'm okay
with it.

The bottled water is okay too but MUST remain on the floor next to their
chair. No cans or food. Been there/done that/had a few messes to clean up.
I'm a strict witch but I don't see the harm in things that I would
personally enjoy having at hand too while I'm working.

Now...if you wanna talk "irritating", let's discuss timer buzzes from
wristwatches! Gurrrr.
Toodles......
