We, the students of New York City, K-12, are petitioning against a rule of the chancellors [Chancellor's regulation A-412]. We are petitioning against this rule because some students are needed to bring they're cell phones because of emergencies, for they're parents to contact and check up on them, and if they get lost. We the students find this rule needs to be revised because some electronic devices [Eg: Cell-phones, MP3 players] are not harmful to the school and are not used to distract/disrupt the lesson in the classroom that is going on. We request that you revise the rule in someway that is flexible and fair to the students.
