text: Another reason I support the faculty allowing us students to have our cell phones and use them during lunch and free periods ,would be for safety precautions. If we have a weather problem in the middle of school or someone made a threat and everyone needed to be dismissed early and have to notify their parents, we all couldn't use the phones the teachers keep in their classrooms. It wouldn't be fast enough and all the phone lines wouldn't be able to get through all at the same times. And as I know it, the adults here care a lot about our safety. So if we had our cell phones with us, we could each separately call or text our parents and notify them immediately.
