text: I think we should have cell phones at school because what if something would happen to you? You could have got hurt, need a ride home, or maybe going to a friends house. I agree that students should have cell phones at school during their free time. Like lunch, pe, but they should turn them off during class time. If you get caught texting or someone calling you during class they should just take it up until you pay for it. The cost should be $15 dollars. When you are working or taking a test, the teacher should take the phone up, then give it to you at the end of the class period.
