text: Another reason i have is what if you have to go somewhere right after school and they have to cancel it and your mom was taking you, i would want to know so that i wouldn't have to stand outside waiting for her to come. If it was winter time, and i didn't know something got canceled, and i had to wait outside and wonder where my mom was, and she couldn't get a-hold of me because we couldn't have cell phones at school, i would be mad.
