Can't this thread just get locked already?

The kid ended up getting his iPod back, and hopefully he won't do it again. If he makes another thread, the users might just flame him. This thread is getting old.

Then why bump it two days later?
 
Jrok, if you're old enough to drive, you're old enough to know better than using your "toys" in class, much less loaning them to other people there too.
 
I've a B.S degree in CS, but I still failed McDonald test!

Ever hear of being overqualified? WTF is a BSc doing applying at McDonalds anyway?

My teacher took my touch away today and is wasn't even my fault well yea it was but still. I gave my ipod to this kid in the beginning of class bc he wanted to play chopper then he got caught by the teacher and he took it away. They do this thing called bag it and tag it where they put the electronics in a bag and send it to the office where they lock it in a vaught then one of my parent has to come pick it up. The bad thing is that this is my 3rd time getting it taken away and second time in two weeks bc i got it taken away last week during a test . O and today my teacher wasn't going to bag it until he saw the crack on my screen and he was like look what this clown does. I just told my mom and she is not really happy and she said she is not going to get it so im screwed. I was like i have to drive a hour away tonight and the music is the only thing that keeps me awake. I also saw it on the desk and was thinking about grabbing it but i just couldn't . Now i don't know what to do bc that ipod is like my sidekick . So boys and girl don't use electronics in school i learned it the hard way 3 times.

... When did MacRumors turn into a journal?

I think the policy of having a parent get the device back is genius. Yes, there will always be ****** parents that don't care, but I think most would use this as a disciplinary tool :)


I don't listen to it when i drive i use a thing called itrip when i drive. Also i never listen to it during school i usely just play games or use the calculator for math.

Listening to music can help you concentrate when you're working... Games though are a pure distraction. I've always been shocked at how similar the calculator app looks like a real calculator, enough to fool invigilators at exams.

Yea im not the sharpest in spelling and grammar . O and were reading a book in English called Beowulf and were like 2 in a half weeks in it and i had a quiz . I didn't know anything so i got a E lol . All i new was that there was a guy named beowulf in the book.

Just wow...

I always pay attenion in the main classes(english, oceanology ) Bc those r the ones i need to pass. But other then them 2 i have all easy classes(tech ed,cooking , gym times 2) This is my senior year baby!!!! which sucks.

It sounds like you've been doing a lot of paying attention in English... right? You only need to pass two courses? Doesn't your high school need a certain amount of credits to graduate? Are you considering post-secondary school after you graduate?

And yet, you come up with this gem:

Amazing! The sad part of this is that many of you think this is normal and acceptable. It's disappointing to think that this is an example of the upcoming generation. Oh well, the world needs sales clerks and hamburger flippers too; I'm sure you can handle those tasks. Good luck.
 
Where in the constitution does it say a teacher has the right to take away your stuff and then treat it like crap???

Where in the constitution does it say that teachers have to put up with parents asking why their kids didn't do well on a test AND not be able to take away distractions (like an iPod Touch) in the classroom?
 
I can't believe just what a crop of idiots we are raising in this country.

If you use "your" when you meant "you're", you're an idiot. If you don't know the difference, you're a moron.

If you say NUKULER instead of NUCLEAR, you're an idiot. If you go back and forth, as Sarah Palin does, you're a calculated idiot and just about as evil as you can be.

If you spell "until" "untill" then they can just keep your iPod until the cows come home, because you are an idiot moron.

So there.

Umm... it's not in the constitution. It's in a contract provided by the existence of the constitution between an institution and the people who attend it.

Jeez. A nation of idiots.

Did you not understand my sarcasm? Take another look at my post... it was intended to criticize the post that I quoted.

And you're and idiot for thinking that tossing in a random political jab is going to make your point more cogent. Since when is calculated evil? I suppose we should just all get on the Obama express straight towards socialism eh? That way the motivated and hard working can feed, house, and "educate" all the idiots you speak of? Wow..I feel so 'hopeful'!

lol, oh man... has this thread gone off topic or what? This could be a record for most directions away from the topic of the thread.

But, alas, I feel the need to respond. The motivated and hard working people you speak of make under $250,000 a year... most people who make more than that are very far from hard working. The people who make the least money work the hardest jobs, that's the way this world works.

And if a motivated and hard working person hits success and starts making $250,000 plus a year... then they've hit a point where they don't HAVE to work so hard or be so motivated... they made it! No one needs more money then that, they should be glad they got there and give back to the people who are actually struggling.
 
At my old school if you got caught more than 10 times with your mp3 player in class it would be taken away for good, loads of parents complained about it being practically theft on the schools behalf...

In response to the OP, don't have your mp3 in class, stop slacking and learn something for gods sake, it's why you're there.

The moral of this story is, you are incredibly dense.

How many times must you get your stuff taken away from you during class, before you realize that maybe you shouldn't use them in class?

Seeing as how you are a senior in high school, I would have hoped you learned this lesson long before now, but now it looks like there is no hope for you.
 
You should have just taken it from the desk when the teacher wasn't looking.

Hopefully you learned your lesson 3rd go around.

So there.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW. Look at this Bad@$$ right here.

It's the internet buddy. Having perfect gammar isn't required. I don't think i saw anything about it on my contract with the cable company, or macrumors, etc etc.

Pan down dang.
