      <description>I teach fifth grade, and our school policy is that any student who brings a personal device (cell phone, iPad, MP3 player, etc.) must turn it in at the office in the morning and pick it up at the end of the day. What gets me is the number of students at the elementary level who have their own cell phones, iPads, and other devices. I understand the need to connect with parents in an emergency, but I can't wrap my head around the idea of a ten-year-old with such an expensive device all their own.</description>
