text: One reason I think students should be able to use their cell phones at lunch first is to call their parents if they need anything. If a student forgot his lunch then the student should be able to call home and ask for a parent to bring it. Another reason students should be allowed cell phones is if they forgot a project or homework and they have not had that class yet they could call home with their cell phones. Teachers would probably not let the student call home on a school phone about homework.
