Cell phones... boots... banned...really!?!?!?

Wow... really? I was not sure I read the headline right when I found this story... a middle school banning boots, because kids hide cell phones in them. A school official says, "Cell phones are a problem for obvious reasons."

Wait, I thought we were developing activities in which we were supposed to be encouraging students to use the technology they have.

I suppose I don't know the whole story, so I am going to stop writing about it, but this really makes me wonder about what is happening. (At least it has been a mild winter so the kids' feet won't be cold.)
