text: Let's say there is an emergency at school. A student is having a stroke in the bathroom, and no one is around to help him. If the student has a cell phone then he can just dial 911 and get sent to the ER. However, if he doesn't have a phone; survival percentages are very slim. The school will then get sued and lose a lot of money. Everybody knows that principals hate their students, but all care about money. That is the main reason phones should be allowed at school; just in case.
