text: These are just the simple reasons that i think cell phones should be used during school hours as long as they are put away during class time.One Monday morning, I saw my friend Generic_Name drenched in rain and with a troubled expression on his face. He told me he biked to school everyday and the weather was not kind to him today. I asked why he did not ask his parents for a ride to school, and he responded that both his parents need their cars for work. There was not a program to help him in the school and so he continued to use his bike in rain, snow, or shine. Although some may disagree, distance learning is beneficial to students because it helps students with disabilities and students without means of transportation.
