As a student, I can see the reasons to forbid phones in school (though I believe the advantages outweigh these), but what reasons are you citing in support of camera prohibition?I highly doubt that cameras could pose much of a distraction from classes, and they can't really be used for anything that might be harmful to other students or the school, except by producing hard evidence of something like these lunches, which should be encouraged.
- DanBC 14y agoWell, I guess there's a risk of theft.

- ktizo 14y agoI would rather be able to use a camera in places it might get nicked, than keep it at home just in case it might get stolen.
- edd 14y agoI am not saying I agree of disagree with the use of the law in this case but the problem that is associated with children having cameras at school could be fear of things like this: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29017808/ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29017808/
- gyardley 14y agoSo ban that, instead of cameras at school.
- adrusi 14y agoI've had a lot of experience with schools banning a dependency of something rather than the thing itself, allegedly because they feel that gives them more time to prevent it. If they can take a camera away before students start sexting, then the student never will have started sexting. If they wait until the student starts, then it actually happened. Of course, that means also banning all the legitimate uses of cameras, implying that the school thinks students' primary use of cameras is sexting, which I find obscenely offensive.
- Anderkent 14y agoPardon, why does not having the camera at school help here? If they want to they can take the photos at home. In fact, I doubt many such photos would be taken at school even without a camera ban, why risk someone walking in on you?
