tablets, and other similar electronic devices, are not, likewise, prohibited but the
students who are called to recite should close these electronic devices for the
duration of their recitation. The same rule applies to mobile phones that serve as
data storage.
4. Any student may discretely leave the classroom if and when absolutely
necessary. When a student is not in the classroom when called for recitation, he
