No we are not allowed to have Phones in our cars. people still bring them like put them in trunks, Just becasue there is a ban doesnt mean ppl dont bring phones to school. I am only 17 years old. Plus you nedd phones b/c if you get into a wreck how are you going to tell you parents or if you are in some club and it gets canceled whos goin to take you home if you dont have a car. the ban has messed up ppls grades too.

the ban is not right. When my grandfather died(RIP) i got a text from my mother telling me in school i read it. i went to the office to check myself out. They asked me how i got the infomation i told them i got a text message from my mother and told me i got suspended for 3 days. IT was the dumbest thing i never use my phone during school and it was a family crisis and i got suspened and i missed two test that i got zeros on. They should change the rule for family crisis only, But i didnt deserve it

But AGAIN...even in the case of a family emergency, the school can be called. I do feel the school should have cut you some slack, though.

Yes the school brought that point that my mom should hvave called the school. But i mean my grandmother is was going crazy she needed to get in touch with me and she didnt know where to look for the number. Back to the point i am watching someone text someone esle rite now and i am all the way againsit it but the ban isn't goin to stop anything just try to make smaller. Its not doing anything but making us students better at breaking the rules.

i have never cheated on a test using cell phones, aournd here we use cheat sheets or we right the answers on the blank sheet of paper that we get out for text. Cell phones are used around here to talk to eachother during class from class to class.

I am againist the cell phone texting for "jus talking purposes" The school are never going to outsmart us. We have 3000 students in our school and like 200 teachers tehy can't catch 1/3 of the kids doin it. I see it all the time but I am not going to rat a kid out. They aren't going to hire more ppl to watch the kids to see if they use the phones.

becasue he is really young I am 17. Cell phones arent a problem when you are that young. Most mothers do know ther kids school number when they are at that age but when your older i dont see a point to know the kids school number wehn they about about to graduate.

Originally posted by hova4ever9: ... i dont see a point to know the kids school number wehn they about about to graduate. Then you are obviously not yet a parent. If I am correct, those 'about to graduate' are still under the legal adult age, and therefore fall under the responsibility of their parents. A parent should know the number of the school whether the child is 7 or 17. I know you don't mean disrespect and neither do I. But if when your grandmother died your mother had not had access to the convenience of 'text messaging', she would've HAD to have reached you via calling the school. Someone would've been sent to your classroom to come get you and you would STILL have eventually ended up in the Principal's office, only to receive the bad news instead of having to give it and in turn be asked how you got it.

What exactly is the problem with students having cell phones in school as long as they don't use them during class? I don't understand why this should even be an issue. Originally posted by hova4ever9: ....in my school we arent allowed to have cell phones. If they search our Cars and we have them they will suspend you for 3 days..... Under what circumstances does anyone from your school ever have the right to search your car?

I don't understand why this should even be an issue.
Its an issue because kids do use them in school, and many use them during class. The other day, my little sister (13 years old) sent me one of those annoying "forward this to 10 people" text messages while she was in class. Some may say "Well just because your little sister does it doesn't mean everyone else does." True, but I assure you this incident isn't an "isolated incident." It wouldn't be an issue if kids weren't using them in class. But they are.
