text: Another reason kids should be able to have cell phones on campus is that they can call for help when they are seriously injured and there's no one around to help them. Like say that someone had fallen down a flight of stairs and had shattered their arm and there's no one around to hear them call for help, they could whip out their phone and dial for help. As for not having them on in class, I completely agree because they shouldn't be on at all time on campus.
