I really dont have a problem with it, but when you say someone can not do it, they will do it. Here is how it works at our school

First Time: Taken away and you get it back at the end of that class period.

Second Time: Taken away and you get it back at the end of school.

Third Time: Taken away and parents are called to come get it.

Fourth Time: They keep it for a while. By a while I mean 3 or more days.

The problem with the fourth offense is that kids have actually sued the school, and open police reports of the school stealing cell phones.

According to local lawyers, we can use our cell phone whenever we want. It does not matter if you are in class or not. It is illegal to deny anyone phone use, in any kind of situation. No matter it be a emergency or not. But, the idea that you cell phone can get taken away keeps kids from doing it. I have gotten too the fourth problem and filed a report with the police. I feel that taking it away and keeping it is ok until the end of the day. But for over the night, or over an period of days is completely wrong.

Then putting up cell phone jammers will not do anything at all as well. That will create a HUGE problem with the cell phone companies and that is something schools can not deal with.

In the end, the students wins. No matter what the school district or teacher does.
