Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Though I still say that the punishments for that were excessive.
Took your book away, did they?

Illegal for use/sale/manufacture in the United States, though. There are a number of law schools that have turned off Internet access in classrooms. It's one of the ongoing conversations right now amongst the Deans.

I remember I had to tilt the book just right to be able to distinguish the letters from the page. I got pretty speedy at hiding the book and pretending I was asleep.

I could occasionally convince my mother to leave the hall light on. Most of the time, I had to lean over the bed to use the hallway nightlight. It always made my eyes tired, so I really didn't do a lot of reading that way. Still, whenever I could!

My Mother wouldn't let me, brace yourselves, READ IN THE CAR.
She had heard via some pre-internet Hippy SPAM grapevine that it was bad for your eyes. So we'd be in the car for HOURS and I would have to not read.

I don't remember ever being told I couldn't read in bed -- the flip side being that if we stayed up until all hours reading there was no forgiveness the next morning. We had to get up and go to school/do chores/etc. We weren't allowed to sleep in.
I did set my bed on fire once with a reading lamp.

there is no reason for the students to have to use the internet during class. the one exception is a research class and those are usually held in the library!

Well, in a few of my graduate classes, the internet has proved helpful for looking up various facts in the course of discussion.
