text: I know that cell phones are a big problem in today's world and schools. But it is very important to have phones because what if a friend or family member is in the hospital, how can they get a hold of them without having a phone. And if you have a no cell phone policy people are just going to sneak in phones. And just get in trouble when they get caught. Some parents might protest if phones are banded. Because those parents bought those for there kids so they can talk.
