student by picturing the notes in the black board or white board to consume time but not
encouraging to be lazy. Its is a helping tool if the student miss a lecture, he/she can
borrow a notebook from a classmate and take a picture of it then after rewrite when got
home. Handheld devices are very useful for the students because they can
communicate their classmates even they are far away from each other and they can ask

because cellphones can disturb the class and it can be use to cheat. It is one of the
major rules in Dee Hwa Liong Academy, because even though handheld devices are
very useful to the students it can also be a distraction to the student, instead of paying
