I don’t support the cell phone ban but I understand why it’s in place.

Do you think the 12year old kid that pulls a knife on you is going to listen when you tell him to stop texting his weed connection during class?

My point precisely. It isn’t about the cell-phone ban per se, or the book bag ban ...
It’s about the loss of instilling proper values.

Thanks for the reply!

My point exactly ... You make it for me as good as I could have..
I wrote that the kid who will be disruptive will be so anyway, regardless of the rules in place - just like the criminal who will use the handgun will do so anyway regardless of the regulations on the books.

It is about values here.

Whatever punishments are deemed appropriate constitute a different discussion.

You want to ban the kid for texting his weed connection? Please do. Expel him as far as I’m concerned. Get him or her OUT of the school.

This is more about those kids who are still developing their value set, learning how to be responsible and an adult - who make up the overwhelming majority of kids.

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries.
