concerning cellphones in school, is this against the law?

If the school has a no cellphones policy, then it seems to me like they've clearly defined the rules. Read your school's handbook and see if it is included.

If it is not and your parents support you, have them schedule an appointment with the school's administrator for a discussion regarding this topic.

It is against the school regulations to have cell phones at school.

Yes, they can take them at any time and discipline the students.

You should NEVER bring your phone to school.

No, as the school makes the rules as to what is allowed in school and what is not.

Kids are always coughing up stuff give it cell phones or candy and gum.

Cellphones in schools are extremely unhealthy.

No way! However, it could be against the school's rules; that, you need to look up in the rules.

Of course not!

The school make the policy. It's up to the students to respect it, and up to the administration to enforce it.

They should look more into whose went off... and cells do things you can easily tell whose cellphone went off its probably not in the person's control...They should cut you more breaks.

as far as i know of there is no law that says schools can not confiscate phones.. they do have to give em back

If you are not allowed to have them in school, then no. You have to abide by the rules and if you don't, then you do not have rights concerning contraband.

i donno but its stupid. y would a dean come in to collect cell phones anyway? do they not trust the students that much!? obviously some1 forgot 2 put it on vibrate or turn it off. wats the dif
