So when your cell phone rings in class and your professor gives you a dissaproving glance or worse, calls you out in class and tells you to turn off your phone, maybe you say few words in your head or get angry at the fact that you're not allowed to use phones in class. Maybe you shouldn't be too quick to curse your misfortune at being in such a "strict" society.
In an article on the timesofindia.com, The Maharashtra government in India has banned the use of mobile phones on school premises. This is not only directed towards students but teachers as well. If a student is caught using a cell phone on school premises, they can be fined Rs 50 while teachers will be fine Rs 100. This ban will be enforced by the school principals, who will also be fined if caught using a cell phone by the Education Department Officials.
It's nice to see that this ban isn't just restricted to the students but teachers and school officials must also follow it aslo. Lead by example right? Anyways, I thought this article is relevant to us in the states because it's just shows that never take what you have for granted. Maybe you can't use your phones in class but atleast you can still use your phone on school campus.
