I think that cell phone SHOULD be allowed in school. Maybe not during class time, but at my school,
the teachers are TOTAL phone Nazis. Even if its after/before school hours, if you have a phone ON
CAMPUS, its theirs. WHICH IS STUPID. Legally, they should not be allowed to take your phone..its
NOT theirs. But during important class time...i can understand why they would want them off and out
of sight. |

I am for it. I do think that there should be rules of use during school hours. No texting or call
taking during class, unless in an emergency situation. The emergency situation should be well
defined. My son's school has a policy of no cell phones are to be used on school property. While I
am not one to tell my kid to break rules- he takes his to school everyday, but he knows that there
will be consequences at home and at school if he uses it- but I have told him in case of an
emergency- it would be better than not using it. If he needs something from me he forgot- then he
is to go to the office and use the school phone. We have never had any problems. Also- he forgot
to take it oneday and had an out of town football game which he would be leaving from the school. I
took it to the office and the secretary said there was no problem, she understood because she has
kids of her own and could see why I would want him to have it. He did get his phone before leaving
for the football game :) |

Yes, but turned off whilst in class. |

I'm half and half cause some kids need it when they walk then they have to bring to school but they
will text during class so they will not learn much |
| |
|
| |
|

|
|
|
Yes they should because whether or not they pay attention is on them. But it still should be
controlled |
| |
|

Heck yeah...... Kids should be able to use it but not during class time. Especially in case of
emergency. |

I agree that cell phones should be kept in case of an emergency. However if they are to be allowed
in this instance then they should be confined to the locker throughout the school day that way there
are no distractions or have the teachers keep them in the front of the class so that no one uses
them during the lessons. |

I think all kids should be allowed to bring cell phones to school so if a friend is absent he/she/or
I should be allowed to take pictures of the missed homework the friend missed |

I totally for it but i have nothing to say cause its a very good reason why we should have
cellphones in school |
| |

What if there is an emergency |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Well I don't have an argument, but I agree. |
| |
|
| |
|

Yes they may be used for other purposes but they should be because they help us and the can let us
call for a ride because they don't let you come back in the school after you leave |
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
|
|
Yes i agree!! |

There's nothing wrong with it so long as it's limited to emergencies only and even then, it's
questionable. The chances of an emergency where you're cut off from the office are so minuscule as
to be hardly worth considering and any student having an emergency otherwise can just go to the
office and use the phones there. However, for the sake of argument, as long as it doesn't interfere
with education, why not? |

I agree
since i wrote it. |

If there is an emergency, all you have to do is contact the school office. Cell phones in school
would be abused. |

Some cellphones can't take pictures and you wouldn't just use cellphones to take pictures. Also i
think it should just be back in the old days where all you brought to school was your back back your
books and yourself that's it. Now people have ipods, cameras, cellphones like a whole bunch of
electronics.
P.s Im 16 |

In the period of easy communication cell phones are essential. Day to day updates of this electronic
gadget attracts us more especially young school students. They take it for more and more modernize
features and spend unusual time with cell phones. Sometimes they are so obsessed with cell phones
that they forget to think about their outside world, which is unhygienic and sometimes causes their
death. Cell phones in the school should be banned because if they take it they must pay sometime for
it. So, how they concentrate on their lesson? We have recorded the events that the students taking
illegal photos in cell phone inside the school campus. Loud rings of cell phones and irritating
activities with it break the concentration of the class. After banning the cell phone the schools
have to provide telephone which the students able to use in case of emergency. |

Students should not be allowed to take out a cell phone in school. They should allow them to carry
them because they are good to have in case of an emergency. Sometimes it may be necessary to contact
their parents. However, students should not be allowed to chat or text with friends on their cell
phones when they are in school. It is a disruption in the learning process. Therefore, because of
the fact that students cannot use cell phone responsibly at school, they should definitely ban them.
If students would learn to use them responsibly and not allow them to interrupt their learning, then
maybe schools could have them. But until that time, they should be ban. |

If cell phones are allowed to schools in case of emergency how do you ensure they are just being
used in emergency situations? Cell phones are a huge distraction and not just cell phones, laptops
and all other electronic and electric gadgets affect the learning process.
If there is an emergency I am sure all schools have phone lines and not just one but several phone
lines. Phone booths are also available if you want to make a call and hence, there is no need to
allow cell phones in schools. |

Most classrooms have phones, and other ways of communicating. I'm against this, because I think
children are spoiled enough these days. I also think giving in, would just open the door for more

Yes and No. Cell phones can be the cause of a lot of distractions. I'm a student in school right
now, and a lot of kids text in class. This is a big distraction to the learning environment. It
could be good for an emergency, but there are phones in the class rooms and in the office at school. |
