NL_engineer said:Copperhead, going back to your post's about laptops What do you think the majority of students will be doing during class? Yes computers are required in todays society, but they cause unnecessary distractions to learning in the class room.
NL_engineer said:Copperhead, think from the teachers point of view, they can control what you do in a computer lab via programs such as LAN School, they can't do that on something that students take home, and are not on the server. Also, the fist thing tough in courses about industrial training (it apples to schools too) is to eliminate as much of the distractions as possable; number one on the list is laptops, followed by windows. After talking to a few of the guys in my unit that are in high school they say, that he few people with laptops spend most of the classes, on the web (there school has an unsecured network), or playing games. So you tell me that students would not be doing that through class, just like people don't use there cell phones (text messaging/web/email) during class.
Kat, as said above interest are protected under sect. 2 & 15 of the Charter; the courts have also ruled that sexual preference is included under section 15. Just so you know, cocaion heterosexual males, can be discriminated against in the recruitment process for a job (forget the case, this came out of)

What happened the rule of the majority? Last time I checked, democracy was rule by majority...not "held by the dangly bits by various interest groups".

ChopperHead said:Well you cant take them home first off. But when there are 1500 students and 2 computer labs there is alot of competition for those labs. The labtops are on carts of around 30 that can move around from class to class. This means that where there would be no access to computers students now have that opurtunity. Most students when we get to use the labtops do actaully work with them as there is usually a specific reason why we have them in the first place such as a progect or whatever, It's not like they just hand them out to people everyday to have while the teachers are teaching. that would distract people but when your assignment for the day is to use them then I really dont see what the problem is.
