9. We can't restrict them from bringing them....

But if they are caught using them, they are taken away. We encourage them not to use them, but if we put a ban on them....parents would scream to the school board.

Cyberbullying is a grey area. And yes we might be held accountable. Say a student is being bullied. The parents bring it to our attention. Forget that our server blocks it and we cannot access it ourselves, we can still be accountable if we do nothing.

We usually call in parent, who just can't believe precious pookems is being so nasty. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. We try to separate the schedules but the kids have the same lunch. We have had fights arranged after school and off campus and parents trying to blame us for failing to supervise the kids.

Instead of blaming us, they should be looking at what they are doing, or not.
