Now. http://aylad.com/site/shreds/2008/11/20/hang-up-now/ This blog started as an outlet for a nice bit of fiction every now and then, but more of my real life or real memories keep appearing.

Who are you trying to convince? ;-) I am sure no one is truly dependant on their cellphone, they just really, really, really need it... Re: convenience.

To be fair, I occasionally post drafts of future posts by cell phone. But that's not dependency, it's convenience. ...Right? :) Agreed.

I mean, I chose to teach this age group, and I knew what I was getting into. What really gets to me is the smugness parents can have when they take the position that I don't have the right to take a child's phone away, or the spinelessness with which they refuse to take it away themselves. Chase, you and I may be in the minority for believing that cell phones aren't necessities. Thanks for stopping by! I hope to see you here again.
