text: Well cell phones are good to have in school because no one can get a hold of somebody when there is no one answering your emergency calls. My main reason that cell phones are good is that you need to understand that if somebody get into a fight you will need to call someone to break it up. cell phones in school is a real good idea because why would you use them in class. You could only use them during your free time. A lot of people really need there cell phones most of the time because they could call and have someone get help for you.
