Then just kick those students out of the class. Why should people who use laptops to study be set back because of this? -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 09:06
So...what? Now the teachers have to actually make them want to learn? - Will Hunting Mar 10, 09:01
easy enough to block the internet. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 08:57 15
- that doesn't stop game palying and movie watching which distract many people around that student. -- nm - zork Mar 10, 09:01 1
  - I have never seen anyone play games or watch movies. That is a bit extreme. People surf the web sure, but nothing too crazy like games and movies. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 10, 09:01
- in one classroom? i doubt it, and they can't block in *on campus*. -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 08:59 6
  - can't block it at all. -- nm - decline Mar 10, 08:59 5
    - Can't you just turn the access points off? Or have everyone register their laptops. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 10, 09:01 4
      - 3G wireless cards (as kilbo said) don't use the universities (or anyones) access points. -- nm - decline Mar 10, 09:02 3
        
        I don't think I have seen any of those in class. They would stick out from the computer right? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 10, 09:03 1
        
        it would be a little doggle sticking out the side or back of the laptop. If you school has free wifi you probably won't see many - decline Mar 10, 09:07
        
        oh, I forgot about this. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 09:03
- not really -- nm - decline Mar 10, 08:58
- *activates 3G card* -- nm - oblique Mar 10, 08:58 4
  - there are brands of paint that can severely restrict wireless signals ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 09:00 3
    - don't forget to lead-line the windows too -- nm - decline Mar 10, 09:01
    - (Not to mention cell phone blocking devices) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 09:00 1
      - which is illegal in the US. -- nm - decline Mar 10, 09:01
