I have yet to understand how private conversations, even when we are only privy to one side of them, seems acceptable to some.

If only that teacher look worked on my current crop of 8th graders. They require a more active approach. Yesterday I actually had to send a kid to time out in the office...he didn't know the norms for appropriate classroom behavior!#1Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214011945298439939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-2694941653984013362011-01-27T22:33:12.461-07:002011-01-27T22:33:12.461-07:00It is bad enough when people talk on their cell ph...It is bad enough when people talk on their cell phone in a public place such as a restaurant more than just a few softly spoken sentences. If I get a call like that, Usually just explain where I am and ask if I can call back. I love the convenience of my cell phone, but I don't really like to be followed absolutely everywhere!Lyniluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04742585512852240355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041834369094012241.post-57008104973282282502011-01-27T12:23:34.370-07:002011-01-27T12:23:34.370-07:00Wow!

I've never seen it before, but it's very interesting that she felt it was perfectly acceptable to carry on both ends of her conversation in the presence of everyone else.
