Teacher assigned a "Tech Free Day." What should I do to get out of it? - General

My History Teacher assigned our class to not use any Technology for 24 hours [b]over the weekend.[/b] I find this completely ridiculous and irrational to the entire class. We are currently studying media throughout history, and we watched a film by some ignorant bastard explaining how "all gamers are addicted to the computer" and "virtual worlds have replaced the real world for this generation." I am obviously not going to stop using all technology (including music, phones, radios, televisions and [b]the movie theater[/b]), so what should I do to get out of the assignment. If I mention it to my parents (which I am required to do tonight) I will have to do it. Short Version: Teacher commands students to stop using technology for 24 hours during the weekend, what do I do to get out of it. List of what I specifically not allowed to use: - Phones - iPad, iPod - Laptop/Computer - ANY GAMING DEVICE - TV - DVD Player - CD Player - Camera (of any kind) - Movie Theater - [b]Digital Alarm Clock[/b]

How can they control it?

Don't do it? They can't force you to do anything.

Some sort of handheld device with wifi or 3G?

it's very simple lie

I don't see why your parents would you make you do it even if you told them.

Will your teacher be watching you this weekend? [editline]25th April 2011[/editline] If the answer is no then the solution should be very simple. If the answer is yes, then wtf man!

I would, but it requires me getting a signature from my parents, who will take my computers away from me.

fake it.

tell your teacher that this is fucking impossible because absolutely every single thing in your house is touched by technology

[QUOTE=i300;29422531]I would, but it requires me getting a signature from my parents, who will take my computers away from me.[/QUOTE] Who cares? It's not relevant to the class, at all, so the teacher can't do shit.

We're talking about avoiding the computer for [b]24 freaking hours[/b] Blow the school up if you have to, do whatever you must, man!

Read a fucking book you twat.

What the fuck is this even supposed to teach you? Without your computer life is a lot more boring?

Tell your parents how you feel about it then. And ask them to explain how not using technology for 24 hours is relevant to your education.

Go camping, or lie.

Go to your teachers home, rip out his fridge, stove, oven, all lights and whatnot. It's all technology, man!

This is rather silly, so it calls for a silly solution. Manufacture a school document which needs to be signed. Or this: [QUOTE=Mr.Ken;29422582]Tell your parents how you feel about it then. And ask them to explain how not using technology for 24 hours is relevant to your education.[/QUOTE]

Fuck that shit. Just ignore it, use technology on the weekend, go into school without a signature, face the consequences (if there are any).

Don't tell your parents..? And just fake the signature

No technology? [I]"well, better remove my pacemaker!"[/I]

That's retarded.

[QUOTE=Watevaman;29422575]Read a fucking book you twat.[/QUOTE] Aren't books typed up using a typewriter or computer and then mass printed? So I guess modern books would be technology too.

Just don't do it man. If your parents are serious about this though then [b]wow.[/b]

they cannot make you do this

Apparently after the "24 hour fast," we're going to write an essay answering the question: "Would out lives be more meaningful if we decreased the amount of time we spent in our [b]virtual worlds[/b]." Bitch doesn't know shit.

[QUOTE=TheBigS;29422618]Aren't books typed up using a typewriter or computer and then mass printed? So I guess modern books would be technology too.[/QUOTE] Lol, no, it's produced by the use of technology but it isn't technology itself.

Lie?

I don't know how this could possibly educate you in any way. Is this supposed to convince you to become a mountain man and live in a hut in the forest for the rest of your life? This is fucking retarded.
