text: A large majority of students in our school have cell phones. Cell phones are big now because of texting, chatting, emailing and whatever other stuff a phone can do. They are a great way to communicate with other people. Maybe you want to meet someone somewhere it's easy enough to just pick up your phone and send the person a quick text message or call. Lots of teenagers have them. But cell phones are also a major cause of problems. I do not think you should allow kids to have their phone on them during school hours.
