One of my coworker's has their kids in a school where if you are caught with a cellphone, on the first offense you are suspended. Apparently it's working well.

It's all fun and games until it's a public school that implements the mandatory schooling law and so can't really kick out students unless they murder someone.

That's why states are implementing no-cell-phone laws. To give the educators cover for harsh consequences. They are basically making using a cell phone in school the same as assaulting someone, so that they can remove the student for repeat offenses.
