Kinda turned off by the commercialism of it all and the need for every artist to have their own variation.

And as cell phones aren't going anywhere any time soon, it's better for the kiddos to learn appropriate phone ettiquite while they're young.<br /><br />There are times when having the phones is good. Teachers can send them assignments directly. Some days they use an app to check their grades. If there's a copy of something that for some reason I can't copy, they can take a pic of it for their reference. And they can look up things if needed.<br /><br />So, good and bad. Banning them at this point is just short sighted, at least IMHO.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-53082976466997138832018-01-14T14:08:04.041-08:002018-01-14T14:08:04.041-08:00I should say "11 Christmas seasons of Christm...I should say "11 Christmas seasons of Christmas music".
