In the case of Public, tax payer funded schools, I believe students should have access to Phones in the case of proclaimed emergency, discipline coming later for lies or abuse of this rule. However, if they are not using their Device for School or Emergency related things, they should put them away. Side: Yes

I think that cellphones should be allowed in school because there are times when parents need to tell students important information such as, where they are going to pick them up or where to go depending on where the parents are. Also, cellphones do not do any harm to class progress as long as they don't use it in class. Teachers can definitely set rules and consequences for if students do use their phones in class. Side: Yes

What is the purpose of school? All too many kids these days seem to think it is for sports and socialization. The reality is that schools are there for two things: to teach, so that the nation might advance itself; and to indoctrinate, so that the nation might remain aligned with the positions of the elite. Cell phones make both tasks much more challenging. While ignoring the latter is not a bad thing, ignoring the former is a bad thing. Education is the greatest gift anybody can ever be given, and it is one which so many people throw away with less respect than that given to a jock-strap. Cell phones are a perpetual distraction and breed isolation: despite the oft-claimed notion that social media is social, it is in fact the opposite. You are secluding yourself into your phone and encapsulating yourself into a universe where nothing exists but your screen and what you choose to have on it. Schools should ban phones so that the mind of the child can expand and be exposed to novel ideas and mentalities, something which cannot happen when most of the students are more interested in whomever they are chatting up rather than education.
