The district my daughter is in has all electronic equipment banned. Yet every kid has them. If they are seen with them though they are confiscated. The first time they are confiscated, the parents can go in to the school and pick them up. If they are confiscated again they are kept until the end of the school year. Just about every student has one and they are ignored by the teachers (most of them anyway) until one of them creates a disruption.

And to think I was a rebel at age 12 because I was the first kid in my sixth grade class to bring a Mattell electronics football game to class. Jeez, next thing you know, the product line from Xandria.com will merge their technology with Verizon - and next thing you know, one phone call will put a smile on some nubile teen's face. :)
