| Abstract: | At the Lintumepsan Middle School, 10 kilometers outside Helsinki, kids as young as ten are showing up in the morning with mobile phones. They are supposed to turn them off during class hours, but some of them always forget. "It's horrible when phones ring during class," says Taria Mattila, who teaches eighth-graders German. What's worse, the children have their phones rigged to ring with a few bars from songs by Guns n' Roses and the Leningrad Cowboys -- which, of course, only adds to annoyance. |
