Dumb Idea Of The Day

Law Professor Bans Laptops in Class

Yep, that's dumb. Why? Read on:

Professor June Entman says her main concern is that students are so busy keyboarding they can't think and analyze what she's telling them.

So "keyboarding" is more distracting than "writing?" Perhaps Professor Entman prefers her students try to memorize everything she tells them?

I expect the real bug up the good Prof's butt is that the students are doing everything but paying attention to her. Well, if that's the case then they'll be graded accordingly. Don't know why Entman thinks she has to save the kids from themselves.
