    I work in a call center & we are not supposed to answer our cell phones while on the floor, even if we're sitting at our desk on break. So many people do it anyways & they get written up by their supervisors.

    That's a double-edged sword though. Rules are rules, regardless.

    If you let that slip, all of a sudden every student will start saying it's their parents, or their cousin-of their uncle's-sister's-brother's-daughter in some foreign country.

    The solution would have been for the parent to call the school's landline and request their child be either allowed to use the phone that particular time, or have the call transferred to the classroom and let the child speak to them that way (assuming all classrooms have phones, as all the schools I went to had a handset in every classroom).

    There are ways around that particular situation, that will accomodate everyone involved.

    However, that said, suspending the student and taking away his handset wasn't the proper thing to do either. As a principal / vice principal, I would have contacted the mother, explained that this situation is against policy, however it is unique, and would have worked out a happy middle that makes both sides happy.

    So in this particular case, this school's administration is not very intelligent.

    My daughter is supposed to leave it in her locker when she gets to school (our rules, not the school's). On this day, she was running late and just forgot to do it. She is very good about turning it off ar at least to vibrate, but again, it just slipped her mind.

    Her school does not require kids to turn in the phone to the office, nor do they have any specific policy about bringing the phone into a classroom. The only rule they have is it must not ring or in any other way interrupt the class. When it happened, she was told to turn it off and sent to the office for disciplinary action (the in house suspension). All in all, I think it was handled quite well. She knew she screwed up, and took her punishment well.

    Agreed !!!!!


    I personally think taking away kids' phones in school is stupid. Have them turn them off, sure, but come on, taking them away ?

    When I attended high school, I took a freaking notebook computer with me to every single class. Some teachers tried to get me in trouble and take it away, pfffft, screw that. Because I spend so much time typing on a keyboard (out of school in the past, and now everyday at work), it was actually straining and hurting my wrist to write notes with a pen. So I used MS Word and took my notes that way. Long story short, I won that argument easily, and got to keep my notebook in class.

    If kids use it or leave it on, certainly, take it from them, but requiring them to turn it in when they enter the building ? I don't think so.

    At school I get in trouble, they took my cellphone once and answered all the calls that came in during the day. That was not very cool.

    My daughter went to private school, I got her a phone when she was in the 7th and eight grade, anyone who had a phone had to turn their phone in at the principle's office before school, and pick them up at the end of school.
