Individuals who are involved in relationships that involve domestic
violence are now sometimes controlled by their partners and cell phones.
Their partners insist that the cell phone be kept on at all times so
that they are reachable at any moment. Adult literacy programs have
policies against cell phones being turned on during classes. I am
wondering how many students we are losing because although they can
attend our classes, they cannot easily attend without the cell phone
being turned on.
Any thoughts?
Daphne
