text: Second, emergencies tend to happen sometimes. They can be big emergencies like a fire, lockdown, etc. Or they can be small emergencies like forgetting your lunch at home. With cell phones, emergencies could be solved better! If a kid forgot their lunch they could call home and have someone get it for them. If a fire started in the school someone with a cell phone could call 911 and have immediate response. Without cell phones kids would be hungry and we would have to wait for a teacher to call the fire department to get it put out. That would be disastrous. Just another reason kids should have their cell phones.
