Cellphones At school???

No, I don't think that students should be allowed to have cellphones at school. Why???? Because they will distract the student from their work, when a text comes in, all they will want to do is check it. It will not only put them off task but it will also cause the other students around them to become distracted and off task. I think that students should be allowed phones only before school and after school. If any emergency occurs then they can check the message after school or the person sending the text can be notified that they need to send the text to the office. Another reason is that they will want to play games throughout class time. Which again, will not only distract them but the students around them. It would also encourage disobedience because when someone is in a cell phone, it is hard to get them to turn it off. Usually the only answer for disobedience is for them to have it confiscated for a period of time. Another reason is because the students might complain about their phone being broken or someone has stolen it. They would keep moaning about it until it would turn up again. This is a sign that they are attached to the phone and they want it back. They would also not want to do work because it would be in their pocket or tote tray and they would keep going back for it. So they would be showing more signs of disobedience. So I am definitely against this. NO PHONES AT SCHOOL.
