You're preaching to the choir! :lol: My Palms, Pocket PCs, and cameras are not appreciated in some school environments, but then again a pencil is classified a weapon, too (if used as one, according to the handbook). |
While in highschool, I always had the toys. Luckily, I had some powerful friends in the administration since I worked at the school doing A/V work (ha - the benefits of being a geek). In retrospect, I'm suprised my pager (handed down to me from my dad) didn't get me suspected of drug activity, and that my laptop (which I took with me occassionally) didn't get lifted (Maybe it had something to do with the fact I kept it in the head librarians private office).
It is insane though - high schools in the US are more like prisons than anything, and in my opinion, it can actually lead to school violence. Why do you think real prisons are violent? Keep people contained, restrict them in the name of safety, and see what happens.
