Sad...but funny!
I was just trying to figure out what I had done to get Snowcraig on my case!
I'm a senior in high school and our school's rule is phones can be used during passing time and at lunch. No one's hurt by this rule. If you use your phone during class, teachers pretty much will just say to put it away and if you do it again they'll take it
Junior in College. Middle school and High School banned them during school hours. Before and after were fine.
I don't see why the **** people need them during the school day. All my friends were there. Who the hell am I gonna text? They are literally next to me or gonna be in the hallway when classes let out.
My kids won't be getting a cellphone until they are 16.

I think a lot of this comes back to parenting. They spoil their kids, never discipline them, and always think they do no wrong. If parents would just grow a spine and discipline their kids and not give in to them all the time, these problems would cease.
I never had a problem with using my phone in class. Like 2015 said, my friends were there, I could talk to them whenever. I also did not care if somebody was using their phone during class, as long as it was not distracting me. They are the ones that are going to fail, not me.

Generally, I don't have that problem with phones going off. I think it happens maybe once or twice per semester. When it does, it's almost always been an accident.
Great choice to Isolate your kids because of your resistance to technology.
Agreed. My point was simply that an out-right ban eliminates those times when it might be beneficial.
Maybe if we taught kids to use it appropriately, maybe there wouldn't be idiots who answered their phone in the movie theater (like some idiot did when I was there this summer).
If you allow phones for beneficial reasons that just gives the kids a excuse to use the phone during class and say its for learning when they are more likely texting.
Don't think that's quite what was said. You seem to take viewpoints to extremes...not a very effective strategy, IMO...
Many kids just copy what their parents do , so if parents are on the phone all the time so are the kids.
When I was in High School, it was before the Apps were around.. all we had were cameras on our phones and 50 Cent Wanksta ringtones. Needless to say, **** pics were abundant.
don't care, but I drive on two different 4-lane divided highways to work.....amazing amount of dumbas$es who are texting while others going 65-75mph. mostly females...
