I'm gonna wander waaay off topic here, but none the less.

To be honest, I think this whole shabang is the dumbest thing I've heard in awhile. (My friends' dad teaches at Robert F. Hall SS, and I go to another school in the same school board system.) I think the students who posted the messages have some good reason to do so, although tbh, there telling the wrong person to suck "it".

Our school board (not the principal of the school) has banned all electronic/communications devices from the ENTIRE SCHOOL PREMISES. How is banning me from listening to my iPod in the cafeteria gonna help anything? (especially since we have a 75 minute lunch break).

In my opinion here is how the rules should be laid out:

No devices in exams, except standard calculators (no cell-phone calculators)

The rest of the time, it should be up to the teacher of the class. If the teacher wants to assign independent work, he/she should have the ability to allow kids to listen to music. Personally, I would much rather listen to music while doing my work and drown out the idiots in the classroom causing commotion.

Although I’m gonna admit, PSPs and DSs do not belong in the classroom.

I’m done. Yeah, its just a pile of my own opinions, make what you want of it.

edit: q25, we also have uniforms, I just live with that, its a convenience to me.
