I applaud that this is recognized as a growing concern.

I am busting a gut laughing so hard that the SC thinks it will work!

Let's look at a couple of facts here and I challenge anyone to say I'm wrong! First and foremost children are addicted to these devices, that is a fact we can all agree on.

Next, if anyone thinks that "every" teacher will be on board with this I need some of what your taking!

Now let's look at the cost and potential liability here. Phones are now over the $1000 price tag and growing. If a phone is confiscated and later found to not be operating properly do you really think that the student, and parents, are "not" going to blame the teacher?

Hell, if my child's phone was not working properly I would tell them to "LET" the teacher grab it and take my chances in small claims court for a free $1000 phone! I'm sure the teacher has a protocol to follow to ensure the phone is in good working order when confiscated and has a check-off list to follow and maintain in case a trip to court is required?

Now for all the non-believers out there in never-never land think of this, we have a law in place which makes it illegal to use a cell phone while driving, correct? How many mommies and daddies do YOU see driving using cell phones? The police CAN'T fix that, but, yes, the TEACHERS can? What planet are you from?

When some of the teachers leave school for the day they are probably the first ones on their phones as they drive by the students!

Oh yea, we will be tougher on the teachers too? I have to see that language in their contract!
