text: I think we should have them because you could communicate with friends at lunch or other free times, instead of asking if you could go look for them if you had to ask them something. Honestly, if our school did have the rule that we could have our cell phones out at lunch or free times and not in classes, everyone I know would want that, but so many kids would be texting during class and not paying attention. Even if you had the rule that we couldn't even bring them to school, how many people do you think would listen? I would probably bring mine out of habit, for if I have practices or if I stayed after school, but I never text or have my phone in class or even on for that matter. But people would text even more and have their cell phones out way more if we had that rule at school. It would be chaos, kids getting in trouble day after day because of their cell phones.
