Ugh, I think those cell phone rules are so stupid. The phone is the property of the person; the school should not have the right to keep it. If I was at work and my phone was consistently disturbing my work, then my employer would be within his rights to send me home or something - which is why I like the fine idea as well. But for a system that claims to be preparing kids for the 'real world', the rules are archaic in the extreme sometimes.
I wonder how long it'll take for someone to sue the school for unlawful seizure of property.
