It is a kind of harsh ruling though.

I have no problem with it. It's a rule. If you break the rule, these are the consequences. Somehow, kids survived for thousand of years without cell phones and will probably continue to do so.
Kudos to the Scotland for making a rule and sticking to it.

I'm not torn all. If the rule was administered appropriately and a student paying attention knew it was against the rules, then fail away. I'm sure if a student realized they brought a phone in against the rules all they would need to do is turn it over to a proctor and retreieve it afterwards. Seems pretty simple. |

Couldn't agree more... rules are rules. What is the point in having it if your not going to enforce it?
Every exam I have ever been in, from high school to university has had a 5 minute opportunity to put your hand up and hand a mobile phone to a teacher/invigilator. |

That's what I was thinking. I graduated high school in 1999, not THAT long ago. Even then kids with cell phones were in the minority, maybe 2 or 3 for a 25 kid class, problems like this never came up. No we cheated by taking down the questions on calculators and giving them to friends ahead of time . Last edited by jeff061 : 07-31-2005 at 02:57 PM. |

I'm ok with it, as long as the students were told when they got there that cell phones were not allowed, and to either leave them at the front or in your car. I say that because I carry my phone on me at all times without even thinking about it, and to fail what seems to be important test just because something like that just because it never occured to you that you have it is overkill. At the movies I usually forget to put it on vibrate until the reminder comes onscreen.

Shit bro, before your time we use to write the answers on our hands and arms. And this was before pens and pencils, we had to use our own blood and a bird feather.

If the proctors never knew that the students had the phones (i.e. they were kept turned off in a backpack), then I wouldn't think there was a problem. Nobody is the wiser. Methinks that these were the students who brought them out, or had them ring during the test, or put them on their desk, etc.
