If you are students, can you accept your teachers to use laser pointer pens?

Bowenbilt,
The one thing we don't like here are spammers. The second thing we don't like are spammers who lie to us on their first post while trying to get their post counts up. You put your location as New York and your IP address says otherwise. Unless there is a New York in The People's Republic of China that is.......

So you are saying, in addition to him being a liar, he's vertically as well as mentally challenged?

darn... I wouldn't want to try and get anything past SMS!
Back to topic tho, I don't see anything wrong with lazer-pointers, in fact I regard them as a practical tool in the classroom. Just my 2c.

Okay this has nothing to do with the OP but just wondering, is there a location in the US named after China? I know there is a Holland, Norway, Lebanon etc ...maybe something like China, Ohio..

?
Laser pointers are cool!

There's a Berlin in PA. I know coz I've been there
Cinas? Hmmm. I once went to a chinese restaurant in remotest (I mean REMOTE) Bolivia. The Chinese were welcomed as labour back in the day. But this was like a timber hut on some dirt jungle road 50 miles from any other building...
<reminiscing> sorry what was the question...

There are lots of Chinatowns in other countries (except China and Taiwan). I've been to the Chinatowns of Sydney, Manila, KL and Bangkok.
