This is just dumb. I can't stand the bitching about NYC's school cell phone ban. I say just install signal jammers and confiscate any phones that go off during class. This whole thing about parents needing to call their kids is just stupid. Whatever happened to the days where you'd call the principal's office and they'd page the kid for you? Whatever happened to pay phones if kids like calling so much? Rotten kids and indulgent parents, that's all I got to say.
