text: I honestly think cell phones should be aloud in schools during and extra time like if you have any family that live far away or and friends that live far away, you would want to get in touch with them or see what they have been up to. I have a cousin that in in the marines right now, but he broke is ankle in training so he is staying in California until it heals back up, and it is hard to talk to him, so the only time i really get to talk to him is on the computer on my cell phone, and on holidays and he says it is so amazing on how much i have changed over the years. I have a friend that lives in Colorado and we used to hang out all the time but ever since he moved we haven't talked that much, that is why i think cell phones should be aloud. You have a friend he/or she moves and you grow apart from one another. That's how you loose friends not being able to talk to them while you are in school. That is my statement on why i think phones should be aloud during school during extra time and between classes. My parents even think cell phones should be aloud during school, because they want to get in touch with us when they need to, to see what we are doing, ask us what we are going to do after school, tell them what time to pick us up all of this stuff is a reason or reasons for being able to use or cell phones during school. But i understand that some parents and school principles are taking them out of school class rooms or even the whole campus, one parent was talking to my parents about the cell phone policy and they said the reason i don't want cell phones to be aloud is because before i got my child a cell phone he was making straight A's in all of his classes but now he is making B's and
