The Cell Phone Debate

I teach several debate classes on the weekends. This morning, I was conducting a debate between two teams on a subject involving cell phones being carried on campus by students. One student got up and gave an impassioned speech about how cell phones are not disruptive, and how students respect teachers way too much to ever use their phones in class because that would disrespect the teacher and the whole learning environment. After this student finished his speech, he saw back down at his seat, started to listen to the next girl give her speech and then proceeded to whip out his cell phone and begin texting all of his friends. He did this, not listening to the speaker once, until class was over.
