More good stuff from USA Today: High school limits student cell phone use "Administrators say they have to draw the line somewhere to keep phones from becoming a distraction. By relaxing the rules, they say they're acknowledging that cell phones are an everyday part of life.... Students at Stevenson High School say they've seen some students breaking the new rules — using their phones in school bathrooms, for example. But they say phones that ring in classrooms more often belong to teachers. 'It's like the Internet — they wouldn't take away access to that,' says Stevenson senior Darren Nasatir. 'I e-mail my parents from school, and it's no big deal. Why should calling them be a big deal?'"
See how they equate cell phones and the Internet as communication mediums? For them, email is the same as calling someone. "Why would they take away access to that?"
