Everyday you learn something new. Last week I got in alot of trouble and I have been thinking about the events recently. I was talking to 2 of my freinds before class (around 8:07), and in the conversation me and 1 other person used our phones to look at something. A teacher came up and asked us to give her our phones. The 2 of us were boshed shocked, but gave up our phones without argument. I mean no offense to any staff, only to the rule. I found out later that day, from my parent, that I had goten a referall. I had had one prior offense for a phone (it rang in class), about 4 months ago. I found out at the same time that it was a referall as well. Why was I not informed of this when it first hapened, and by a staff member, not my parents. Maybe some people dont care, but when I get a referall I would like to be informed that I received one! A school shouldn't just hand out referalls without even telling the kids that they received one! On top of that, I feel the second offense shouldnt have even happened. The first interrupted class, therefore being nessecary. The second was completley unessecary. I wasn't harming anyone or distrupting learning. I dont feel what I did was wrong, or deserving of a referall. I always thought rules were there to protect us, not force us through unessecary referalls and grounding.
