In Australia you can get phones that are specially made for small children. They have far fewer buttons and have buttons labeled 'mum' and 'dad' so kids can call their parents with just one button. They don't have a keypad so the numbers that the child is allowed to call have to be programed into the phone. I think these are a great idea and could be given to children as soon as they start to leave the home, maybe at the beginning of school...

And at the junior high I have to constantly ask students to put away their phones during class.

Say you take a sentence "When the bell rings, the dog barks." "the dog barks" is the main clause isn't it? Then shouldn't "when" indicate the main clause occurs after the subordinate, rather than the other way round? Hi sorry I’m really confused by the definition:
