1. Do you agree that e-mail has made professors "too accessible," as the article notes? Why or why not? I do agree, because the students are sending the teachers emails about personal stuff. Maybe emailing them certain questions that are meant to be asked other then that, the students shouldn't be sending them 10emails a week about missing class. As it says in the article it makes them feel like they should always be on call. 5. Do you think professors should let students know when they are making poor impressions? Why or why not? Yes, and No.. Yes, because on the professors part they are getting the emails. They dont have to respond but at the same time if a student is asking a question that comes off offensive or wrong to the professor instead of reporting it they should respond to the student and let them know what they are doing wrong. And No, because it isnt there right to make that decision to make that sort of call on whats a poor impression.

i dont agree with the emails being too accessible there are privacy issues and trust probles aswell also i agree with the bad impressions it will help the students

I believe that it is wrong for the schools to infiltrate kids phones, and personal life just to find out if they are selling or taking drugs. That's there life, but i understand why there doing it and its to keep the people within in the school safe. As it says in the article "That's perfectly within our rights within the school," he said. "If schools have credible evidence that cellphones are being used in some kind of trafficking … we have every right to take the phones." How do they have credible evidence, this then kind of comes down to stereo-typing students in if they do or don't do drugs. Now is that right?

I believe this is a Con, because they are accepting students based on what they see on there facebook. When in honesty, it could be a really good student. But that's just what they do on there spare time or in the down time. Grades don't necessarily reflect on how they do in school.

I dont think we need a technology requirement to graduate, because most teens are already coming up in the world knowing what Facebook and Twitter are. So making this a requirement would just add more classes to the ones they already have to focus on. Plus, i believe it would get rid of some of the freedom that we have in school, such as the fact we have 2 electives this would get rid of one of them and only leave us with one till at least junior or senior year. But the finance idea, would be nice to learn in school, because most kids go right into debt after graduation.
