"Cell phones are a problem for obvious reasons," Armato said.
Superintendent reed Lindley said the school principal asked for the banning of fuzzy boots "because of the classroom disruptions that are resulting from ringing cell phones." Students can definitely avoid getting caught by the school's faculty by wearing boots that come up high on the leg and have a snug fit. But, the more unfortunate and less careful, if caught doing so for the first time will get detention, and any other violations after that include two detentions, following confiscation of the phone, Armato said.
A middle school parent, Adrienne Beyer, finds the banning way too extreme.
"I understand there may be a handful of kids that shove cell phones down their boots, but why does the handful have to ruin it for the other 600 students? But, I said to my daughter, 'It's a rule and we're going to follow it,'" Beyer said.

Wow this is really ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteSchools have the right to ban anything that is causing a problem. If they are having a problem with cell phones then they have every right. If anything they should also ban them because they are just plain wrong.
ReplyDelete"Just when you thought that footwear involving the mutilation of millions of sheep couldn't get any ugglier, several makers of knock-off UGG-style boots have been found to use fur from animals who were beaten and skinned alive. Tests conducted on products labeled as "Australian sheepskin" found that they were actually made of raccoon dog fur, most likely from animals confined to barbaric Chinese fur farms." http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/tags/Uggs/default.aspx

Ha. That's dumb. My old school recently just banned yoga pants, i'm not exactly sure why, but maybe it was too much of a distraction? lol. There goes half of your wardrobe, good luck bro.
ReplyDeleteThis is dumb. Are they just banding girl "boots" or both boys and girls? Because guys could easily hide their phones in their work boots or whatever they wear haha. Soooo dumb!
ReplyDelete@Kayla, they're just banning girl boots. @Cora, I only have 1 pair of yoga pants.. Rofl. @Gen, yeah I agree it's a little too much. @Lena, you make a valuable point, but I think they should just be banning cell phones from being used in class, banning boots is in my opinion a little extreme. I don't think the school should be banning something that is so commonly used for our generation... especially just a pair of footwear which can be a good amount of some peoples wardrobe.
