all these years students[children] didn't need cell phones during school hours and now they do? or should be allowed to carry one? it only makes for distractions..we say that restrictions should/would be put on students for using cell phones, but of course we know that students are going to find a way to get around it..and doesnt it also lead to cheating via texting or even pictures taken with camera phones..
and also if either the student or parent needs contacting..school offices do have phones for us..

we're letting kids grow up too quickly these days..by giving them access to things that they really dont need - what does a 6 year old need a cell phone for??

children should be given cell phones around the age of 15-16, but not any earlier - especially in school
