At my school in Toronto, many students carry cell phones/pagers during
class, but make use of the "discreet" profile, or silent altogether. I have
only had two occasion by anyone where the phone went off in class. One SMS
from my phone, and 1 call on a Clearnet of a friends.
    The school has a pagers/cell/walkman in locker policy, but not enforced
because the devices are not making a sizeable intrusion into the
environment.
    And, what are they going to do? Search us. At a private school, where
generally, the students don't take much crap, we will just walk away when
the request is unreasonable and a waste of time.
