Get a pager with a vibrate feature and make contact with the person paging you after or between classes. The cell phone has this unique feature called the "O-F-F" button. During class it should be turned off. People who you gave out your number to should be reminded that you are in class and may not be able to be contacted during that time. When you get into the so-called "real world" of business...you may end up in the unemployment line if your pager or cell phone interrupts a meeting. Been there, done that! oNkYo wrote in message ... >Does teachers and administrators have the right to confiscate them? > >My friend had hers taken away because it went off in the office after >school. >The principal said that she was making drug deals, and gave it to the >constable liaison of the school. >Isn't this bizarre? >The real bizarre thing is that if your watch alarm goes off, they don't >care. but if your pager does, they get really mad. > >I really don't think that they have the right to confiscate anything because >they are personal property. >It's not like they're illegal like switch blades, fireworks...
