Little Writting about Bb's in class

Teachers should allow Blackberries in class. Blackerries are not only smartphones, but also help us to communicate every moment and in every place.

I think teachers should allow it in class because is responsability and student's choise if they want to pay attention to class or not. Blackberries could bother other students and make teacher unfocus and angy though. But I think that we could use it if we are discreet

We as students are in the university, we already know the consequences of the biggest part of our acts, and we know that Blackberries are not appropiated for an english-class enviroment, but it's kind of extremist to forbid smartphones in places of freedom and responsability like the university.
