ok so this year my school has banned cell phones, we cannot have them on our person during the day, if they are at school they must be off and in your locker. If you leave it on in your locker and it goes off and they hear it, which they will cause there is always someone creepin the halways, they will search your locker and take it. they have indicated that if they see it through your clothes (outline in pocket) they can ask you to empty your pockets and if you have it they will take it, and if you ever get your car/locker searched they will search you too and take it. and if you refuse a search then you are immediately suspended for a week.
their reasoning for this is that it is a "breach of security" in the school. they claim they have had many people txting answers and alerting friends that there are searches going on. also they said their 3rd main reason was "extreeme gossiping". no joke.
now heres the kicker. If they take your phone then they can search it for anything that violates this rule. and any incriminating evidence is grounds for disipline/police intervention.
we cant even use the phones as: a music player, a watch, calculator, calender, or assignment planner. thus forcing us who may not have the money to afford these items, to go out and buy new shit, that we allready have in our phones.
so i feel that we should organize a boycott of this gay and oppressive rule. Now im not stuck on this rule getting outright changed due to the fact thatim pretty sure that wont happen, but I do want to send a message to the admin and hopefully get it relaxed a little.
My first idea was to just have everyone take out their phones at the same time but then i realized that we would all just lose our phones. But thats when it hit me why use OUR phones.
my plan is to have ppl buy multiple old nokia brick phones or other phones that dont have service/work. that way we wouldnt lose our real phones. And if we had multiple phones a person we would just have them out and pretend to txt and have them taken away. the office would end up with all of these phones and we wouldnt pick them up. They will start piling up and the office will be like WTF. I also think it would be good to enter shit into the phones that state our disjust and hopefully clue in the office to why we are doing it.
so I just wanna know what you guys think of this plan or if u have any other ideas.
I love how the school thinks this will coltrol the school better, when at the same time they cant stop students from having chew in class.
