The teacher had to ask them to please go outside and the child looked miserable.<br><br>Being at a gradeschool everyday I'm always shocked to see what parents do around the kids and worry about what message it sends those kids.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317657106509563621.post-64363171897676900592006-02-06T17:48:00.000-08:002006-02-06T17:48:00.000-08:00I watched a Law and Order the other night on a sim...I watched a Law and Order the other night on a similar issue. The officer wanted to remove the child because her parents were two famous people that never spent time with her, so the child was injuring herself for attention. By the end of the show, you get the idea that you can't help everybody. <br><br>I have a cell phone, and I hate it. I hate phones. I have a Pavlovian response to throw phones when they ring. Being connected really gets on my nerves sometimes. <br><br>Phish wrote a song called "Slave to the Traffic Light". So many of us now are slaves to our freakin' phones. If it rings, we can't do anything until we take care of that. It feels like someone butting into your life. How many times have I been trying to work, have a meeting, a conversation, or watch a show, and the phone rings. You're expected to stop everything for that phone, for the person on the other end. I don't like it.<br><br>This also brings up the issue of cell phone etiquette. People don't realize how annoying (or rude) it is to talk on your cell phone constantly in the presence of others. <br><br>As you can tell, you touched a nerve Ell. And that's why I like you and your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8317657106509563621.post-49206296115135059912006-02-06T20:49:00.000-08:002006-02-06T20:49:00.000-08:00Amen!
