Did your school have a no phone policy?

My middle and high school did They'd smash that phone with a hammer to show they were serious No lkawsuits ever

We couldn't have them for a weeklong night trip since they checked out bags Although a few friends and me were able to smuggle out phones by putting it in an chip bag we sealed with glue It worked and we played on our phones at night

So, how are these kids supposed to leave final messages to their loved ones as another school is attacked by a madman with a gun if they dont have cell phones? Form an orderly queue for the payphone in the hall?? Seriously? You cant keep firearms out of schools, but you want to ban cell phones. ??

Our school allowed phones. There was one in the secretaries office that if it was an emergency you could use with the secretaries permission.

@hippyjoe1955 YES and it worked well

@nedkelly Oh yes. It wasn't a party line like the one we had a home so you just had to pick up the receiver and dial. No need to lift the plunger at all.
Yes. But I had VIP treatment in highschool cuz I had health problems so I needed to carry one in case something happens on my way home

If we had to make a call we went to the office, and only in emergencies.

We didn't have cell phones in the 70's and 80's.

I go to military school so yes we carry cell phones
When I was in school there were no cell phones. That is, they didn’t exist yet. There were pay phones in the student union building.
