Should students be allowed to have cell phones in school? Phones are the main source of communication and to all social media which may lead to other problems while having phones in school.

And, of course, there’s always the possibility of a student needing to contact a parent because of a dangerous situation. Students can also connect with friends, but not just because it’s a fun thing to do; my teacher asks us to text or email our friends when they are absent to let them know what’s going on in class and to inform them of any homework. When used responsibly, a cell phone can be an excellent communication tool.
