I think I gotta call "bullshit" on this one: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/education/8468351.stm

I agree. No f****** way.


Also, why in God's name are 8-12 year olds owning cellphones?

I can see it helping in certain aspects of English. I believe it depends whether it is coupled with a solid education in the proper use of the Queen's.

Edit: Remember chaps, it is the BBC.

It sure defies logic.

I would guess that the true correlation is that the kids with phones tend to be the wealthier ones who' s parents likely speak better from the start and who go to better schools and/or have tutors if needed.
