This article explains how much of a battle cellphones are between students and teachers, and what one school in Boston did to overcome this issue. The school in Boston as well as many others have invested in padded pouches, which lock like security pins. The students phones would be locked up in the beginning of the day and would not get them back until the end, where they would have to have a special device to get the pin out. It explains that students had been coming up with ways to maneuver around the pouches, and bring in backup phones, cut the pouches, try and use magnets to pull apart the pins. However, they also said that there was a way that this technique could backfire because of the attachment students have to their phones.
