text: I really think you should allow cell phones on campus. As long as they do not take them out in class it should be ok. Also some parents tell their kids to never turn their phone off in case of emergency. i really think that is a big deal. What if something is going on at home and they need you to know about it as soon as possible. You would have no idea what happened until you left school and got home. Something really severe could have happened during that time.
