How else are teachers going to be able to own an iPod on their salary if not by confiscating? ;)

if you have your phone conficated for a week, how would you phone someone in the week if you went out and got into some sort of trouble. if schools are thinking of getting ipads, why not play games on them instead of doing work

I'm against the statement. There is no real need for a student to be using a cell phone, iPod, or other electronic device in school. The teacher can never be too sure if that student is cheating. And if he isn't, the device could be disruptive in class.

And that's just in the case of electronic devices. :p

Of course they should be allowed, but first I want to say this:

What do you mean by 'for' and 'against'? That you are for the sentence or for the regulations?

I choose against the sentence.

If a student comes to school and puts a gun in his locker and his superiors find out, oughtn't it be confiscated? How about illegal drugs? It does not matter if you are for or against the legalization of drugs - as long as they are illegal they ought to be able to be confiscated.

What if a student is paying any attention to his work, rather playing with a hand-held video came or his phone? He is at school to learn, not to have a social life or spend the day playing games.

Side: Against

The parents should be called into the Principal's office and then the parents should coerce the child to turn over the possession in question.
