She should keep it on silent and in her pocket during class but they should be allowed in school. Just my opinion... smile


Oh No, I agree with you, Dianne. We are better off as parents by giving our children cell phones for school so if anything happens they have a way to contact someone. It could be as simple as having to stay after school for something or missing the bus for some reason. When I was in college, our instructors started off the class by telling everyone to turn off cell phones or put them on vibrate and if they have to take a call, then to step outside of the room to take it.

The schools in our area sometimes have lockdowns if there has been an escape from jail, or a store being robbed and the perps got away....etc. It would be nice to be able to talk to your children if needed during those times.

OR - if one parent was supposed to pick them up and there was a misunderstanding...it would be nice to be in communication.

Children by all means nowdays should have cell phones for safety sake! They should be on vibrate or silence during class and NOT ever seen during exams!!

Hm... have any of you considered the health risks? There is a growing body of evidence that cell phone use can increase the risk of brain cancer. Children are at greater risk, because their bodies are still growing and developing.

My son didn't have a cell phone until this year -- and he's in college now. He has it ONLY to help us coordinate, and it is always turned off when he is in class.

If the cell phone is always turned off while in class -- I can find it acceptable. However, so often, even if that is the rule, it isn't the case. Then you get into a host of other problems. I think that, except in rare cases, there isn't a strong case for kids to have cell phones in k-12 schools.
