- Where are you at? Illinois has a law that says that pagers and cellphones aren’t allowed in classrooms -as an early stage in the war on drugs. It seemed that thousands of kiddies were making major dope deals during geography class. -Or something, they had reasons for the law but I can’t remember what they were right off. --I dunno if the law says what the school can do with them or not.–
The lawmaker that originaly sponsered the law now wants it revoked because everybody, even grade school kids, has to be in constant contact with everyone else all the time or they’ll miss the next Internet bubble and have to drive a rusty Buick and live in a trailer their whole lives. I think. Anyway she said things had changed, something about “having to stay in contact with family”. Hey lady, you ever heard of “dinner”? --A Career Woman. Probably not. Oh well.

- This kinda happened at my high school when GameBoys first came out. Schools in Illinois can take away pagers and cellphones because there a law that specifically says they can. Otherwise, they can’t, really; the school has to return your property to your parents as soon as your parents show up at the principal’s office. You might need a real lawyer to walk in tossing real legal forms around to get them to do it though, and lawyers charge for that. -Probably more than what a new cellphone or GameBoy costs, so you see how the situation is. Parents usually just go along with the school’s “end of the year” rules, because they aren’t willing to pay for a lawyer. And the school can suspend or (I guess) expell you if they catch you with whatever-it-is over and over. - MC
