If mobile phones are such a big cause of 'psychological cruelty', why don't they ban them from schools?

why on earth do kids need them anyway?

Enid, not if they want to leave my class with their thumbs still working (want an evil grin emoticon but they don't have one!)

Yes, but we do all that crappy letter stuff in regestration time. Couldn't be arsed to do it at the end of every day as well

They don't dare use them at our school. If caught they are confiscated till the end of the next half term, or parents have to come in and pick them up.

Can't see many parents being too thrilled about that!
