Cell Phones at Your School

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>What is your school's policy regarding cell phones?</p>

<p>At my school, if the teachers or staff see someone using their cell phone for any reason at all during the day, they are allowed to confiscate it and then require them to pay $15 in order to get it back. Is this even legal? </p>

<p>At my old school, I was on my phone all the time (during passing periods and in some classes after I finished my work).</p>

<p>lol they allow us to use it anywhere except in class…or during class time. If it’s something regular that they catch you using it they’ll either:</p>

<p>-confiscate it until the end of the hour

  • confiscate it and turn it in to the Attendance Office and pick it up at the end of the school day
  • if it’s excessive confiscate it and turn it in to the Attendance Office and your parents gotta pick it up.</p>

<p>Most teachers are lax…others are not.</p>

<p>that’s so lame they make you pay for it! but hey it’s an effective way of controlling that issue :D</p>

<p>My Physics teacher posts your name in front of her class door ( ie. "Thanks to John Smith for Cell phone # 3!!! :)) if you’re caught and shows your picture to everyone…and if the class does it more than 3 times we have to take a test…that counts towards our grade :(</p>

<p>Our school takes it away for the day for the 1st offense, then for a week for repeated offenses. Additionally:
1st offense: Warning/Detention
2nd offense: Detention/Saturday Detention
3rd offense: Friday Detention/ISS
4th offense: ISS</p>
