yall are missing my point, entirely, its not to call me, or me to call them... its for them to call the cops if needed...

These seem to conflict...

Why would you worry less if it was your kid calling the police?

Either way the phone isn't to call you... right?

i think someone else said it already but the entire thing is stupid. you don't deal with problems in a round about manner like this, its retarded. if cell phones are a problem you make a clear cut rule that any phone disturbing a class is confiscated with the parents needing to pick it up and the kid gets detention. if that isn't enough to discourage them taking away their boots certainly isn't going to do it.

Fractions of seconds matter sometimes. If I know a guy with a gun is just around the corner, I am not stopping to get that phone out of whatever crevice it's hiding in and start dialing. I am getting to safety. The 911 operator isn't going to help me when I am filled full of holes.

ever heard of bootlegging? putting anything other than your foot in a boot is an attempt to conceal it, putting something in your pants pocket is using the pocket how it was intended

I've never heard of a school shooting where there was a lack of ability to notify the police of the problem in a timely manner. Students need to be worried about following their protocol to reduce the amount of children and teachers hurt in these incidents. If everyone did as they're supposed to, they'd get into their classroom and lock the door, and there wouldn't be anyone left for the guy to shoot at.

why ban boots? seems stupid, if you are having an issue enforcing the ban on cell phones make the punishments for being caught with one much harsher. dont ban boots because thats how they get them in, kids will get the phones in anyway no matter how many articles of clothing they ban. kids could come in the nude and they would still hide their phones.
