I think this because a cell phone is a possible learning device depending on the way that it is used. For example, a student may be in one of his/her classes that reqire calculators. If the student does not have their calculator and the teacher does not have any spares, they could simply use their phone to complete their work. This is why I think that you should not ban cell phone use during school.

If there was a crisis going on in the building or our homes, us as students will be able to make contact with them. I really do not think it would make a big difference because even if cell phones are banned, students will still text and disobey the rules I think that cell phone usage can not have an effect on learning in school.

Also so the parents keep track of us or if something bad ever happened. Sometimes we need our phone and it may come in use someday or maybe could save someones life. You may think phones are distracting but there not there useful in its own kind of way.

Also since banning cell phones woudn't make a difference, because the students are stiil going to use there cell phones and ignore the rules.

I think we should have the right to call our parents and tell them something like our grade before the end of the day, cause we'll most definetly forget. Also if there is a family emergency you want to know ASAP! And not want some principal or guiandence counsler to tell you your dad was in an accident. Or something like that. I think the ban is not that good of an idea. I think this is not agood way to ensure proper learning.

Every once in a while an emergency will crop up and the cell phone may be the only way to contact you immediately.

Like maybe a good time to use our cellphone to text would be like after a test or when were not working. Also if someones's cellphone was going off the teacher shouldn't take it away, instead they should let the student go into the hallway or bathroom. Besides I know some schools that let you use your cellphone during class and I also think that a student should be able to brake the rule every now and then. Thank you.

If there is an emergengy arises at school and there is no one around to see or hesr the student they have no other choice but to use thier cell phone to call the paramedics or a close relatives. I think it is addlebrained(stupid) to suspend a strudent for using the cell phone in the bathroom.
