Parents file larceny charges over lengthy cellphone confiscation {Engadget Mobile}

Nov 18th 2006 9:05PM I'm a student in New York City in Stuyvesant High School. They're doing this but on another level. Not only can one not bring phones to school (whether its off or not), but one cannot bring any type of music device or headphones. If they are confiscated, students cannot get them back on their own and have to have a parent/guardian retrieve it for them. Considering that over 50% of our student population has to commute 1 hour+, this can easily equate to more than 5 days in this article.
