text: I think it would be a great idea to have the students be able to bring their cell phones to school. After school they can use them for various reasons. If the student is staying for practice or tutorial, they can call their parents or guardian to pick them up. If they miss the bus or need to clarify how to get home they can use their cell phone to contact their parents. The parent can also call the student if they need to talk to them about something. Students can use their phone to do research as well.
