Parents, Teachers Come Out Against Mayor's Crackdown on Cell Phones

Submitted by Saran McGlothin, Mar 3, 2008 16:39

Greetings,

I don't agree with students using these gadgets during school instruction time however my children carry one for safety concerns. God forbid something happens to my children the school system can not tell me anything! The public school system is not the safest place to send your child. I as a parent wish I had the funds to send my children to private school. At this present time I don't. This does not mean that I will not advocate on the behalf of my children!

Respectfully yours, Saran McGlothin
