Kids go to work after High School thinking that a job entails talking and texting all day.

GEEEZ! I wonder where they get such stupid ideas? I even had one assistaant tell me it was "his right" to talk on the phone. I responded your dam right! get the hell gone.

Cell phones should be strictly banned. Any cell phone brought to class should be taken away for the remainder of the year. If the parents dont like it the student should be promptly removed form school for the entire year.

High Schools should start teaching life management and coping skills in which kids can get a clue about what is real. OOOOH but I guess that would take the rights away form the parents who are doing such a grand job. already.

I should also note that my son isn't a phone junkie like most kids are these days, I have to remind him to turn the bloody thing on most of the time. I had to create a jingle for him to remember to turn it on.. "When the bell goes off your phone goes on."

IDHITIT your a funny guy.

I like your jingle very cute.
I am sure your boy is just the sweetest obeying child in the world

Why are you giving kids cell phones to have turned off in class ? What is the point? PLease SPARE me! How did so many kids survive for thousands of years with out that dam phone?

How about if there was jus one concrete rule for everyone so that there wont be any room for miss understanding.

Take the phone away for a day??? are you kdding me??? it comes right back the next day.

IDHITIT You sound just like the typical bone headed parent of the twentieth century America

Well then! You are convincing. I just dont know though. Why is the school district haveing problmes if everyone is so well behaved?

It just seems like a big problem I see it in the workforce with adults, How can kids be expected to act any better than adults who dont have the sense to keep the phone put away.

You are are telling me how shiny your son is and I cannot argue with it because ther is such thing as shiny kids. I only know that your are out of you mind if you think all those phones are staying in the pockets of all those kids

Why does everyone have to say not me not my kid I am special.

you guys are bewildering. How did we ever get by without cell phones. What phone did we use in 1985

Some 'electronic devices' in school are probably necessary. But IMO cell phones are not. All cell phones should be left at some sort of depository during school hours. Any calls or messages will be on the phone at lunch time or at the end of school, so if dad can't make it on time, your kid will still know. If you must call your kid at school, it can be handled the old fashioned way: call the school, they page the student over the intercom. Emergency at school, how many hundreds of people are needed to call for help? LESS people calling 911 at once would be better than everyone calling at once, less confusion.

Finaly some sanity.... AHHHH I can breath finaly... Than you so much for the breath of fresh air MKtavish & floatingpoint

Mariposa, your are freaking insane and limiting your self to being locked inside a self defeating box.

I think I am beginning to understand why your seemingly got this intense vandetta going on agains the school over some over emotional shiiit and your expectations of whatever

You have mentioned a little about it and you also talked about someone telling you that you should go to Law School, I assume becuse of your intelect. I agreed and said that, that person was right. I challeeged you to take them up on that suggestion.

Your response: "The profession [law] does not desrve me" I didn not respond to that statement because the statement was in my oppinion a cop out and it painted a picture of a person who is getting more milage from playing a Drama Queen.

I sympothize with your daughters plight, but what we are talking about a building that likly has a surplus of wonderful god fearing good people who would never let anything happen to your prcious little handicapped daughter. I am sure that the building holds as many phones as it does good caring people. Your daughter is in good hands.

IF YOU DONT THINK SO??? if you dont think your daughteris in good hands then why do you have her there in the firt place. You are starting to sound so much like an insincere DRAMA QUEEN!
I have been wondering about you and why you quit commenting or arguing with me and my beliefs... I kind of suspected it could be in part becaues I can see through your B.S. and you know it.

Mariposa you should know that the truth is never mean. the truth is the most caring thing you

Then look at the documentation instead of libeling me. Find out what the truth is from the district's own documentation.

See if I am bitter or whether I'm simply standing up to corruption. Read the letter that says they weren't going to allow what the doctor had ordered. Look at other documentation.

Are you so arrogant to think that my not responding to you was personal?

Guess what ... the girls aren't in a traditional educational setting anymore. We got them out of that school and are not putting them in traditional education settings. They had originally refused to release the girls, but did it real quick after proof came out that they weren't meeting the girls' needs.

Besides, multiple independent professiomnals have recommended that as well. It isn't just me.

If you are going to quote me, I ask that you do it accurately. I had originally said I was considering starting the process of becoming an attorney after a legislator recommended I do so. After getting closer and seeing what they have to do (undermine people), I decided against it.

First, I want to apologize to both you and Nineveh. To Nineveh for possibly being rude to someone on her blog; to you for basically the same reason.

Because you said something untrue and uncalled for to me did not mean I had to refer to you as being arrogant - whether you are or not.

The thing is that the school DID NOT notify me or call for medical care when the first cardiac incident happened; the first time the arrhythmia manifested. A cell phone shouldn't ever be necessary ... but sometimes it can be.

It wasn't until after the police officer saw the doctor's orders (the ones the school was refusing to follow) that the girls were allowed an alternative setting. The police officer was less than thrilled at how the school was neglecting documented medical need.

The girls haven't had so much as one cardiac incident since they were removed from that hostile setting. Coincidence ... I think not! None of that excuses a school not protecting the students entrusted to them.

As far as not responding to you, I've been working with an education attorney on a contract that would establish private education at public expense ... what the law calls for and what the Supreme Court has upheld in these circumstances ... without having to go to court or through a due process hearing that would bankrupt us.

It creates a whole new level of dispute resolution apart from IDEA.
