Kids are challenging the legal authority for collecting cell phones from students. I'm waiting for one to get a lawyer.

At the same time, if you can't confiscate them there's little to do except write them up. But then all that happens is they get a talking to.

Heck, I've caught a student texting during a test. Who? Her mother.

Her mother was two halls away, a teacher at the same school with a reputation for not allowing phones in *her* classroom.
