School kids and their mobile phone usage in Japan, with a number of schools introducing various bans on usage.

Reflections and Paragraph

For my reflection on the topic that I have chosen would be how i felt. The way that i felt while i was doing my research was that the information that I looked up supported all of my reasonings. The level of difficulty was kinda easy,when I was finding my information it was an easy. Looking up my information was easy but finding a graph to go with my subject was one of the hardest parts. I enjoyed the wordle creations, and creating my commercial. I disliked doing the Quoting and paraphrasing.

Why would the student handbook make the parent come pick up the item if its confiscated ? I think that the district should rethink this. Parents shouldnt have to get off there busy schedule to come pick up a item that could be given back at the end of the day. The item shouldnt be confiscated on the first offense. Why is there a warning on a tardy but not on a cell phone violation?
