Life is so complicated these days.
When I was in High School a big controversy erupted when the technology got small & cheap enough for us to want to use hand-held calculators in class.
techdirt:
For years, [cell phones] were banned in schools. However, following events like Columbine and September 11th, many parents wanted their kids to have mobile phones, in case of emergency. Thus, the schools caught up with the times and changed the rules. However, now some are rethinking the issue because they never thought far enough ahead to consider what happens when a camera gets added to the phone . Like many other locations, they're worried about privacy issues of kids snapping pictures in the locker room, but they're also worried about kids cheating via camera phones.
