Yeah, a concealed Nokia candy-bar phone would be invisible, unless someone at the school searched their bag.

That would go up against quite a few civil liberty challenges, not to mention social network pressure - when a kid has to bring a hidden burner phone in case there's a school shooting, and the school punishes him for that? That's a mess any school wouldn't want to get into.

Now I want a phone that fits into an Altoids tin.
