text: There are plenty of ways that this benefits us students and i can show you how. If we have our cell-phones for lunch or any other free period we can use them to contact our parents. This way if we need to stay after school one day, or if they need to bring something important into school that we left home... all we have to do is simply call or even text message them it's that easy. We can even use them for emergencies or personal issues. If we are having an emergency and for some reason are not able to use the phones provided at the school, and your rule is to allow no cell-phones inside the school premises... well then we are going to be trapped! If you don't allow cell phones at school and we need to contact someone immediately no one is going to have a phone on them and something seriously bad could happen to someone. Even if you have a personal and private issue and your mother or father have no access of contacting you other than your cell-phone then there is going to be one serious problem.
