text: My personal opinion is the cell phone issue is blown way out of per portion. If the kid wants to check their phone really quick then let them do it. Its not like they have their ring tone blaring or anything. Teachers all know that we remember to put them on silent. Maybe if a student had the permission to use their phone in school from their parent. The teachers don't allow it but their guardian does. I think the issue should be resolved by parents and not by a student.
