I heard about some school where over 100 cell phones were confiscated. My question is, why do highschoolers need cellphones? Unless you have a job where a boss might need to tell you something, you don't need to walk around with a phone.

I have a cell phone and im not in highschool. My opinion on this is that some have girl/boy freinds. Others do have jobs and need them.

Well, what if you get stuck somewhere? And you need a phone? I'm in highschool, and not to long ago some friends and I were mudbogging, and one of my friends got his pickup stuck in a ditch. So we had to use his phone to call for help......
And if you are going to bring a cellphone in school..... what's so hard about keeping it in your pocket, and putting it to vibrate? Not that hard to do, I do it every morning =\.

Yeah i agree, at my school almost everyone has a cellphone but you just turn it off or put it to vibrate.

Mudbogging doesn't have anything to do with what I'm talking about. You don't need to bring them in the building at all. So what if it's on vibrate. You're not supposed to answer it. I got through highschool just fine without one.

people need cell phones in school becuase its a safety issue. what if a natural disaster happened and all landlines were disabled? You would be happy to have a cellphone then. What if you forget there was no school that day and your stuck miles away from your house with no ride home? you would be happy to have a cellphone then. What if a terrorist group takes the school hostage and noone can call out? You would be happy to have a cell phone then.
The reason these dumases are getting their cellphones taken away is because they are taking them out in class, playing games, and text messaging. THEN they should be taken away, but given back to them after school....for safety reasons of course. (btw, I AM in highschool and I see kids get their phones taken away often....But always for some dum reason, like taking it back out AFTER being warned to put it away once.)

It's unlikely to happen. Not that it hasn't been done ...

If it's such a safety issue in schools, then let teachers carry one. Every student doesn't need a cellphone.

The niece smoked marijuana with the guy before that happened. Do you think a cellphone would have helped her after she was stoned?

meh I didn't read the whole article. I was actually trying to find a different one about the teacher in Florida but I couldn't seem to find it.

It wasn't a very good example, but I figured you were trying to say that teachers aren't always upstanding people.
