[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a teacher, I support any phone ban. I was the victim of a student in MS using their phone in class taking a picture of my backside in an unflattering way and only discovered it when I saw her on her phone. I took it away (our rule was MS students weren’t allowed to have phones out and we could confiscate and give to their advisor to hold for the remainder of the day), and it was face up on my desk, and I saw a picture of myself.

But once it's in the hand and it's silent to use and there's a greedy market of attention for shocking content, the sense of what's appropriate gets tossed in the trash.
