Reply #10: Based on the sentence from the handbook in question, it most certainly does not state that.

[Occulus]

A "cell phone" is not a "digital camera", but can have one.

Conversely, a "digital camera" is not a "cell phone", but can be incorporated into one.

Words mean things. The specific wording of the handbook does not prohibit the use of a digital camera during school days, and only an Authoritarian could reasonably imagine otherwise. Further, it sounds as if the student was taking a digital photography class endorsed and operated by the school, during school hours. To then turn around and discipline him for performing course work during school hours is, simply put, insane. It's even worse to support such insanity.
