Yes, that time has come again where students text message each other from behind their insignificant “book walls” in what might be the largest rebellion against the rules since above-knee skirts. But even though a student believes they are well hidden, all the teachers know what is going on, (they aren’t as dumb as some like to believe,) and sometimes the teacher will enforce the rule, sometimes not. As cell phone case after cell phone case enters the office, the topic of the beginning of every school year is “How necessary are cell phones in school?” The usual argument from the anti-cell phone side is “They (the students) don’t need them because it is a distraction.” The “pro-choice” side, which consists of unskilled tongues and vain teenagers is “I pay the bill, I sh

But you might make a good argument that someone across the school could have heard all the gun shots and could have safely reached a phone. This is plausible except that Senior Graduation was close approaching, and most people assumed they were firecrackers or a prank. A minute distraction, is not ever worth a human life. Ever.

Students and student representatives, teachers, administrators, and law makers are going to have to sit down with each other and come to an agreement about the issue and do what you preach about compromising and being submissive to the law. This means that both sides are going to have to give.
