Yes, and it's also legal for them to put the damn thing in the trash.

What's your source

What law source or court case are you using?

What law source or court case are you using?

You're kidding right? Contraband. Read your state educational code.

Or, would you go to the school and demand your child's confiscated marijuana?
You want to blame someone for costing you the price of a cell phone, don't look at the school. Look at your child who knew the rules and the punishment and thumbs their nose at both.

contraband

I asked a simple question for research purposes. I didn't ask for a smart assed comment from some arrogant *******. Marijuana is illegal; cell phones are not, nor are cell phones banned in this school system. If you don't know the law or a court case relevant, don't give your damn opinion. For your information, Tennessee school law considers beeper/pagers illegal contraband, not cell phones.

Obviously! This appears to be a site where a group of "no it alls" fields specific questions, gives opinions without thought, add assy comments, and expects everyone to accept them. I guess I should have realized that you're the experts. Good thing I figured it out before I began to develop some confidence in the site. By the way, maybe you guys should start doing homework; think about a course in human relations. That might help you stop assuming that every poster is looking to overturn the school system instead of just finding out their individual rights. Nuff said.

The point of "homework" is for your to learn how to research.

Homework

I know how to do research. Three degrees prove that, but when all efforts of all searches are fruitless why not ask the experts? I'm not concerned with whether my child ever gets the damn thing back. As far as I'm concerned, she'll never talk on one again, but that's not the point. The question remains, does the school have the right to refuse to give legal personal property to the parent of the child. We are not talking about weapons, drugs, lewd literature, or anything "illegal." It's a pretty simple question. A valid answer is not: "They can do whatever they want with it." We all know that's not the case.

No, your the idiot. No wait, your clairvoyent. You figured out I'm from Nashville. Wrong again. That makes twice. What a dumbass. Why don't you throw yourself away? Hell, I'll settle for shutting the hell up. You must be a frikkin' yankee. Can't get a real job in law, so you just sit around and take your aggressions out on people that can't reach out and smack the hell out of you.

Try Anger Management, then do what a normal smart person would do. CALL THE FREAKING SCHOOL DISTRICT.

What a moron you are.

Oh my god, your right! I guess I never thought of that. I didn't post to inquire about a school policy, I asked about the legalities of it. You are the moron for not understanding that. You know what, nevermind. First I get a damn yankee full of insults and now who knows what from San Fran. "FreeAdvice.com" "Outstanding Advice" My Ass!

Gee, who better than to explain the legalities of a certain school, than the very own school district in which they reside? And you actually have a degree in something? I find that hard to believe.

Take the advice on the anger management, you need it if you are really a parent.

Thank you for the laugh about SF. It is truly funny coming from someone from a poor Dufus state like you.

Work a little harder and you can afford to get out of the trailer.

Trailers are for hauling trash like you. Did it ever occur to you that if a system has a policy, they must believe it to be legal. Again, bad advice. It doesn't make a damn to me what degree(s) you believe I have. By the way, they're not in something; they're in somethings (plural for you). As far as working a little harder, two things: Firstly, your grammar is terrible. Here are a few suggestions: "Take the advice on the anger management, you need it if you are really a parent." The comma should be a semicolon (2 complete thoughts). "And you actually have a degree in something?" Never start a sentence with a coordinating conjunction; they're for use along with a comma to separate independent clauses (complete thoughts) if you choose not to use a semicolon. "It is truly funny coming from someone from a poor Dufus state like you." People can't be states (misplace modifier). Although there are several others, I figure these three will keep you busy for weeks. Secondly, I use to live near San Francisco. I moved to get away from freaks like you and then prayed for a big earthquake.
