Pennsylvania

Let's see what the results are before deciding whether to roll it out to the entire state. Yes there are safety issues, some schools have bullies and other behavior problems. But cellphones are definitely a source of distraction for many students. The teachers still have their cellphones to report problems, intruders, fights breaking out, etc.

If the pilot program (locking up the phones during class hours) shows that it's more problems than solutions, then OK try something else. But I don't think that's what they'll find.
