The Herald understands that one boy took an upskirt photo from his personal cellphone and circulated it among his peers. Another boy filmed a video of a female staff member teaching in the classroom and uploaded it to an internet porn website, it's understood. "The teacher is in control of the classroom," Hill wrote, after telling pupils of the cellphone crackdown during a special assembly. "The underlying purpose of school is that caring adults [teachers] get alongside students and act as high quality role models. "I do hope that students are able to respect the role of the teacher and the school's position on cellphones."
