I remember back in the day when cell phones first became affordable overhearing students engaged in stimulating conversations with friends and family: "Hey...what ya doing...(pause) --I'm going to class, gotta go..." Trying to humor myself, I asked pizza face what morsel of information was so important that he felt compelled to use his 300$ digital device to message it. He said: "I'm asking girls what color underwear they have on"
Well now. That explains it. I asked pizza face if any girls responded. All the time! he replied.

We have become Nazi's about it here; if a teacher catches a kid, the phone is gone....parents are called....there is an immediate suspension. Use of "camera" phones in unauthorized areas gets an immediate 3-day suspension--likely to become more, depending on the circumstances and kid.
