[LM_NET] GEN: advert. shows screen use for student management

[Marcia Dressel <dressel@OSCEOLA.K12.WI.US>]

LM-Netters,
 
Do the television advertisements showing "school employees" pulling down a screen 
to immediately calm and quiet a group of students bother anyone?  
True as it may be that students know what to do with a screen (be quiet and give it 
your total concentration), I'm disheartened by the advertising campaign that 
insinuates that we do, or should, use media this way -for classroom management or 
on buses.  Sorry, I don't even remember the company whose products are being 
advertised.   
 
Perhaps I'm a bit over-sensitive.  This has been my area of study this year for my 
professional development goals.
I'd be pleased to see a conversation about this on the list, if it's not too far 
off-topic.
