text: I believe that if a parent has provided their child or children with a cell phone it should be accessible at all times. If you don't allow them to even bring their cell phones to school i believe is not the right choice. For example if a student walks home from school and doesn't have a way to contact someone incase of an emergency , that would be the schools fault. It would be a lot safer if students were aloud to use their cell phones, but only at designated times.
