RVBC Teen Rules on Cell Phones and iPods

RVBC Teen RULES 
for 
Cell Phones and iPods
Woman Talking On Phone


I have decided that cell phones are causing unwanted distractions during class and activity times. 

Any appearance of your Cell phone/iPod during class and activity times without permission will cause you to be unable to earn any points that day. 

The only exceptions to using your cell phone during a class or activity is if I ask you a question to either text or call another teen, your parents are calling or texting you, or if I tell you to call your parents.

Mobile Phone
If you *absolutely must* check something on your cell phone, please ask permission.
If you want to take a photo of something during an activity, please ask permission.

**iPods are not allowed during class or activity times.**

Now some of you might be wondering "Why on earth are we having this rule?? I will just DIE without my cell phone or my iPod with me at ALL TIMES! How can you do this to us?? " 
http://buckleysautocare.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/iStock_Crying-BabySmall.jpg
The simple answer is, Cell phones and iPods during class and activity times is not only rude, but you are also locked into a little distracting electronic box that makes you miss out on important announcements and that steals the fun time you could be having with your friends!

And now a little skit to make you able to smile once again...
