what is your schools cell phone policy?

Question

im just wondering what kinds of rules and regulations your school has for/against cell phones

Answer 1

When I was in highschool, we could bring our cellphones. However, they had to be turned off. And the teachers couldn't see them, or they would take them up, and made your parents come pick them up themselves. (The teachers who actually cared). In some classes my senior year, everyone called people on the cellphone, text messaged. and the teachers didn't even care. It all just depends on the teacher.

Answer 2

Our school had a "no cell phone policy" but nobody cared. If you answered your phone in class or we're creating a problem of course you lost your phone. But if your just using it the way it should be, maybe sending out a few texts, whatever. Nobody cared. Even the teachers used their cells in class sometimes.

Answer 3

There isn't a policy about cell phones in my school. You are allowed to have them and use them. But if they start ringing in class some teachers tell you to turn them off while other ones just tell you to go outside and take your phone call

Answer 4

At the school i just finished at, we could have phones, as they were switched off in class. Of course this didnt happen, people msgd in class, but didnt really take calls, put their phones on silent, and its never been much of an issue. I know some schools make a really big deal out of it though!!

Answer 5

My school lets us have cell phones on campus but the school officials aren't aloud to see, hear , or know that you have one. If you're caught with one that's visible or if it goes off in class, it's taken up and you get a write up and your parent has to come up to the school to get it back. Like on the 2nd time you have to pay to get it back from the police department and you don't get your phone back on the 3rd time.

Answer 6

cell turned off and in locker, if seen will be confiscated and a parent will have to come get it after a week, but u can use them on campuse after school, not before....... and they go thru ur lockers, and if u have a cell/ organizer (i.e. palm piolet) it will be confiscated. not camera or picture phones on campus. yet teachers can talk on thier cell all day long if they like.

Answer 7

Well we used ot be able to use them between classes, but now the only time we can use them is at lunch and after school. And if you get caught with it during class, it gets put in a plastic baggie, and the security guard has to take it up to the office.

Answer 8

have them off during school hours. if seen taken away. possibly get written up..or just lectured..depending on who in the school talks to you, what grade your in and if you have phone offenses before. but the teachers like the students having them in a emergancy situation type thing like fire or bomb or gun or whatever kinda threat or what ever kind of emergancy the school deems cell phone use appropraite.

Answer 9

Cellphones found in student possession are put through a chipper-shredder. The shredded remains are placed in a dumpster which, when full, is emptied, the contents being sold as scrap metal. Proceeds of the sale are used to buy new and more powerful chipper-shredders.

Answer 10

They are to be turned off and unseen on campus. They can be used after school is over. This goes from grade school to high school. I don't know about colleges, but I would assume that your professor would make an example of you if you let it ring in class.
