Cell Phones

This new cell phone policy has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. While I think that the policy itself is sound and reasonable I think that their reasons for doing it are ridiculous. I mean taking away people's cell phones at school is not going to stop cyber bullying, or any bullying for that matter, and all it actually does it piss people off. I mean when students are in class they should be learning, not on their cell phones, however I think that there are certain times in certain classes where it shouldn't matter if you're on your phone or not. Phone use should really be an issue of time and place and teachers' preferences, not a schoolwide ban on cellphones during "instructional time". What's especially ridiculous is this new rule about taking away kids cellphones when they go to the bathroom...I mean...what am I going to do? Go to the bathroom to cyber bully people? Anyone who'd actually do that needs more than just their cell phone taken away. They need some serious help.
