text: In my opinion students should be allowed to bring phones to school and use them during lunch or other free times in school as long as the phones are turned of in class. One example of why this is necessary would be if an emergency comes up and the student needs to inform their parent or guardian. Or vice versa if the parent needs to inform their child about a situation. Cell phones are a vital object in today's society. Most people depend on cell phones even tough they are not always helpful.
