bloomberg is creating sumting stupid. well he's trying to put metal detectors in midle and highschools. he's doing this so it can prevent use from bringing yur cellphones in school well isnt that a wrong thing to do like for example if there wuz an emergency wut would happen and if wanted to call yur parent what would u call them with so ... i just need a minute of yur time and just type in yes or no and u can and maybe type in sum feed bac about wut u think about it.. thxs for all your time all cb users!

I got to Stuyvesant with DrNick (except I don't know him) and I think this is a vast waste amount of time and money.

first of all, i agree with everyone that cellphones that are on are a complete distraction. students in my school like to play scratchy music on it and it really distracts you when you want quiet during a free period. however, cellphones aren't the ONLY distraction. Spirited Away made a good point that older generations made it fine through school without cellphones by using office phones. but, when you have to deal with the new york city metro system and the unpredictability of the city, i desperately need a cellphone. on several occasions, i had to abandon the subway completely and walk home. i need to at least let my parents know that.

and in case of an emergency, you cannot have all 3000+ students of my school waiting for the office phones.

also, these metal detectors will be random (at least at my school). the metal detectors they'll using are portable but enormous. what a waste of time and money to just set it up on random days.

i can understand for weapons and drugs. i fully support that. however, it's going to slow things down. and also, things like ipods and cellphones. they might be distractions but they mean no harm.

btw, doesn't nyc have like a huge defecit? where is the money coming from?
