... acually, isn't 616 the number of the beast?

How to treat a prat with a mobile phone.

I like this!
On another note - I clicked the video to go to the actually YouTube site (where it is hosted) so I could checkout some comments...
Lets just say that not many people are taking the teachers side or they think it is staged (I have to agree that I consider this highly possible - but it doesn't make it any less funny) - personally I don't think the teacher was out of line at all, so seeing as you work in schools (ok maybe this isn't a problem in primaries) what do you think?

The guy should have at the very least left the room (it most likely isn't even ment to be on - I know there not at my school, not that anyone pays attention to that through).

Go with the teacher I say ... erudito September 20 2006, 22:42:08 UTC

Well, it was Damage To Property and That Is Bad.

Having said that, I so understood where the teacher was coming from. It is not, after all, as if it is likely to be a one-off thing.

One of the clubs in Melbourne has a rule that, if your mobile phone goes off inside the club, you have to pick up the drink tab for all members present ...

(Once had the excruciating embarrassment of my phone going on while I was on-air. Been very careful since, I can assure you.)

Yes the school will likely pay (or the teacher) but it would likely send a message to the student in question (and the other students as a rule) - no matter who pays in wouldn't be an instant replacement anyhow (more learning for the student!).

The phone rule (buying drinks) is also used in the theater/film/TV World.

Didn't know that, thanks. Good rules tend to spread :)

Thank you :)
