I personally think that students should be allowed cell phones in elementary and high schools and im not just saying that b/c i am in 10th grade i mean all kids should have a cell phone even if it is a trac phone b/c what if someone is following your child to and from school but the school bans students from carrying one what happens if the person that has been following your child stops his car and grabs your kid nd most phones have a tracking device so if your child doesnt have a cell phone how r you going to find out were he/she is? what if someone is trying to jump your child after school nd the school will not let them call you b/c they are supposed to be in class how is your child going to feel safe walking home from school if someone is trying to jump him/her? lets say school gets out early due to a bomb threat nd your child forgot his/her house keys but doesnt have a cell phone to see if u r home nd wat if he/she wants to go to a friends house how r they going to be able to ask you if the school bans cell phones? the answer to these questions is their not that is why students should be allowed cell phones in elementary and high schools
