There's an article in today's Toronto Star on cellphones in school; the Toronto school system is debating the very topic.

The last paragraph sort of puts another light on it: "...not all students would mind cutting their parents off the cellular apron string. One Grade 12 student at Northern recently answered his cellphone during class, only to hear his father on the line.

While the class watched, he listened to his father announce the menu for that night's supper: Beefaroni.

That night, the 17-year-old imposed his own cellphone ban – to his father: No calls during school."

LOL
