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!

[font=Arial]Ok i dis-agree with bloomberg for many reasons and one of them because i live in New york.

-Anything could happen at any time,whether its death in your family,lets say you own mom or dad?What if someone needed to contact you to let you know.Not all schools actually take you out of class to let you know.My disagreement is based on that fact of emergency.

I mean sure it IS annoying to have little hoochies or thuggish boys talking on the phone or "key-ing" someone up.

Also someone who has posted in here brang up the topic of disturbance with the cell phones in class.Well as a student my self,yeah it can be a pain in the a** but hey its life.Your the one who has to stay focused no matter what distraction unless its like harmfull in my opinion.And for the teachers,If you see a student doing so,do them the favor and just tell them to get out.Or have them removed,its all about common sense.Like last year in my school i had my cell phone consfiscated because i had to call my dad because it was really important.So my dean saw me with it,and he took it,mind you IT was lunch time,im allowed to use it,because the office would not let a student use the phone till 3 o clock and i couldnt wait that long.My mom went in to go get it back and what happened,it was stolen and on the bill it came to alot of money and so many phone calls were made and when i called my phone this man who sounded like he was in his 30's changed my message.Now i do not know if this is rellevant to the case of cell phones but yeah it just shows we all may need it in our life at some time correct?

So i would say in all cell phone is cases should be allowed and some cases should not.

Schools have plans for "personal emergencies", kids. First thing tomorrow morning, make an appointment or do a quick walk-in to your local conselor and ask him/her about it, please. You all seriously think that schools will keep news of a sudden death of a student's family member until school's out even though the student was contacted by another family member?

Okay, you're saying that high school students just have to deal with such distractions in class. My answer: bullshit. A classroom is a place to learn, not as a place to listen to "it's getting hot in here", "linkin park", and a gazillion other ringtones, have you all forgotten? A classroom isn't the place for cell phones, period. Also, it is up to the student who has the phone to not be a distraction, and NOT anybody else. Why should I be responsible or be the one to take the consequences of another's delinquency? The best way to not be a distraction in class? Don't have 'em at all.

On a last note, here's a tip, though it should have been quite obvious. The next time you lose your phone or suspect that it's been stolen, call to notify your provider and cancel your service for your cell phone number. And if that wasn't obvious to any of you, you should also do the same when your credit cards, check book, drivers license, or the likes get stolen.

I dont fully agree with you on that.Yeah a classroom is infact a place to learn but this is school we are talking about.NOT every one is gonna be an angel.So obviouslly if the teacher cannot obtain some-what of good behavior from the students,then the teacher isn't fully qualified for the job.Sure they have good teaching method's e.t.c.But they do infact send you to do training in a real class with students to make notes and observe and from-time-to-time teach.So you are going to witness a bunch of asses in a class.Correct?And your right we shouldnt have to be suffering or losing time to learn because of asses.I have to deal with it everyday and i know how people are when they aren't around mom and dad.They tend to get extremly out of hand.And yeah actually i did cancel my account.

-"You all seriously think that schools will keep news of a sudden death of a student's family member until school's out even though the student was contacted by another family member?"You need to open your mind up a bit.This is school we are talking about.Ok lets take a look at a scenario.You are an only child,you mom and dad have NO parents because they already died and they have no brothers or sisters or cousins or aunts.e.t.c. and lets say your mom and dad both died [hopefully not].The school phone isnt working.What then?And if you bring up the fact about neighbors well neighbors dont really always help out.The cops do not have any idea about where you live,what school you go to,or even if you have a child yet.And maybe a friend was there to witness what happened and they needed to call you but the school wont allow you to bring in cell phones.What then?Sure there is email,but what if there is another person with the same first and last name as you spelled exactly alike but no relation what so ever.But people can hardly tell the difference?Then suddenly the power goes off in the school [it happens sometimes honestly].Then nothing powered electrictly in the school can be operated.Then your just screwed,correct?[this may seem drastic but lets just think for a moment,this can actually happen.]

Overally i do agree with what your saying but i have my side to it to.If teachers can have their cell phones ringing off my point is so can we.Whether a distraction or not.


Also i dont think this is all that debatable because theres 2 sides to the story and many scenarios to it.So im 50/50.
