Not since I was in school, that I recall.
I see no issue allowing them to have it so they can listen to music on the bus ride if they want :shrug: Just gotta be responsible with it.

I guess they can use them to & from or something.I wasn't concerned about him taking the thing to school and having it stolen. Things get stolen, Just the way it is. Yes he made a poor choice in taking it to school. But it could have just as easily have been stolen elsewhere. My main concern was getting a call from a Teacher or admin saying it was confiscated because he was using it when he wasn't supposed to be.
If the thing was stolen then I would treat this one way. But if he was using it in class then a whole new way of handling it comes into play.
I have to go on the assumption that he is telling the true story and that it was stolen out of his locker at this point. But I have to admit from the way the EX is making this sound that some "other" story may soon come out.

Oh I hear ya.. That is the part that gets me.. Lost a bit of trust in the boy I did.

Yep,, He'll learn. Want nice things? Have to be responsible with them.

I'm just curious how he said his locker wasn't locked.
With most lockers, if they're closed, they're locked. I guess maybe if you didn't turn the dial when you closed it it could still be opened.

I really don't know. They EX delt with the school. I went to Northern and back then you supplied your own lock. ('80-'84)

We always used a balled up piece of paper to "jam" the locker for quick entry and exit. :shrug:

Sounds like my sister kids get in trouble and she calls to ask what she should do... give her my advice and next thing you know she does the complete opposite! Why waste my time if you have no intentions of taking my advice
Doesnt matter if they are or arent against school rules since he did it regardless.
and PcJohnny I think the ball and bat were not permitted at school said they could be used as a weapon :shrug:

It was only funny until the administration came and removed the "jam" and none of us knew our combinations.

Daughter and Son both go to PHS.
Daughter takes her IPOD to school almost everyday, and i KNOW she takes her cell phone everyday.
She's not supposed to have the phone turned on during school hours on school property, but every now and then I'll get a text from her, and it takes me awhile to realize.. "HEY, you're in school!!!" This usually occurs after we've been texting back and forth for a 1/2 hour or so.
The day she doesn't make honor roll will be the day I'll take issue with it.

You're a LOON :)
My kids are all in elementary school. They can carry cell phones. Their is special paperwork you fill out in the beginning of the year for it and I believe they must be turned off during school hours. My kids don't have cell phones.

Yep, good rewards for good behavior and grades. I am all for that.
Gives them something to look forward to.
Rules are rules and just because you think a rule is stupid doesn't mean you can break it.

All my kids but bubba have cell phones, and the youngest two have Chaperone turned on. As long as their phone is turned on I know (or can know if I need to) exactly where they are.
Imagine getting a call from school to find out your kid isn't there, and you put them on the bus this morning.. two key presses later I know EXACTLY where they are. Have never had to use it, but it's nice knowing it's there.

Who said it was a stupid rule? Besides, probably 82.3% of the people that chat on this forum probably break one or two rules in the process.. Other than age, what's the difference?
Personally I think it's teaching life rules. Critical thinking skills, problem solving skills. She knows the risks, and the punishment if she gets caught, and if she gets caught she'll have to deal with it. Lesson learned.
And I know damn well if I had a cell phone when I was her age I'd have been doing the same thing.. just not WITH or to one of my parents (that's the coolest part).

ugh.
don't get me started then
the bat is one thing, but the day kids can't toss a baseball at recess is a sad day in my book.
