It’s long been known that children aren’t allowed to bring cell phones to school because the Department of Education doesn’t allow cell phones, iPods or ANY electronics in any public schools. First off, this is stupid. Cell phones are, first of all, a device that has saved thousands of lives, and second of all, bought by parents for their kids SO THAT IF THEY’RE IN TROUBLE THEY CAN CALL….. lets see; where are kids our age most of the day? At school! So what’s the point of having a cell phone if you can’t even have it for the majority of the day???????!!!!!!!!! Now our school has a policy, don’t let us see it, and we won’t say anything. We’re allowed to have them, but they should be off.

And other electronics, like iPods: School isn’t the only thing we do all day. So they’re saying that we can’t bring electronics to school? What if you’re going over to a friend’s house after school to practice for the talent show, and need the ipod to get the music from??? We can’t have an iPod in our backpacks to use LATER??? As long as they don’t see it in our school.

But now it’s just getting worse because the Department of Education is doing “random security checks” for guns and other weapons at random schools. Our school might be “randomly chosen.” No problems there. It’s just if they find a cell phone (or any electronic for that matter in our backpacks or something, they’ll take them and one of our parents has to come to the school just to pick it up!

Adults bring cell phones to work - they can do whatever they want. They can bring an iPod to listen to on the way there and on the way back - and while they’re there for that matter. But NOOOO kids can’t. We’re just little zombies to be controlled. Go to school, learn, go home, do homework, go to bed. We can’t do anything else - bring any electronics to school, we can’t do anything!!!
