yes, it would be much helpful for parents to contact their children during emergencies etc., but phones shouldn't be used during class hours.

My cell phone is my only phone, and I'm bringing it with me everywhere i go no matter what's allowed, and i
don't think there's anything wrong with that. What IS annoying is when people don't turn off their ringers, and it goes off in class. That's the reason a lot of people want them banned in class. Mine is always on silent though, so there's no way to know i have one, and it doesn't really matter what rules they decide on.

Phones in General, yeah.
But most in my school use them to text message eachother during classes, and that is annoying. Tryi

My two cents:
Put them on vibrate or silent, and everything else falls into place.

Kids should be allowed to have their cells. I'm not a huge fan of cellphones but still. I'm not fond of people using them during classes though. Unless it was a parent or some kind of emergency. I text all day in the middle of classes but that's not that much of a big deal since it's like passing notes during class and that's not that big of a deal. But yeah, they should be allowed to have them and not be taken away unless it posed a problem during classes.

no, i believe it should not be that way.
the reason is that think of it, if you are bad as i was, i would leave it on sounds, and then my entertainment would be to piss off the teach with my saucy ringtones...usually the sound of women moaning.
the point is, if you let one have them, the next one will be coming on, what is only applicable is when they are more sensible young adults in college or uni, then that is fine.
cellphones should be banned to keep the peace of the school!

Cellphones in school - My opinion is no. Why?
Well, after school outside is something that is different because it is outside and your own time. When everyone in the class has a cellphone and it is on, it will pretty much become an office when people call you. During one of my classes, about 5 cellphones rung within 1 hour. Not that cool when people are looking at you. Anyway, there isn't a need for cellphones. Think of this, You Are In School. Not at an office where you have to answer calls. Why would you need a cellphone when you are in school? Doesn't make sense to have it on. Who will call you and what for? Geez, you are in SCHOOL.
Cellphones = Not good in general. Infects your health too...i think

Yes, in case of emergency... and just for fun..

they allow cell phones at my school, but we have to put it at the office...

Yeah, i'd say cell phones should be allowed in case of emergency and during lunch/free time, however they should not be used during class time.

Yeah! I dont know why they dont permit them! it's quite unfair! I think they do it coz they feel jelous coz our cellphones are better than theirs!

Quote by wind12Yes l do bring my cell phone to school but l am not one of those people that usees a cell phone during class time!

me too :)

No phones at all. Period. None of this "well what about an emergency" bs either. If there is a serious problem, people can contact the school to get a hold of you. Cell phones have no place being in school whatsoever.

Yes! Cellphones are excellent texting devices for cheatin during tests... j/ks lol

Seriously, I've never cheated on a test using cell phones BUT i have seen it in action... the people got away with it unfortunately.

I still say yes to cell phones as long as people are responsible enough to put them into vibrate mode before the class starts.

Definitely should be allowed. It's a form of communication and it's normal in this generation. It just shouldn't be allowed while classes are going on because some students play games while the teacher is explaining things.

Yeahm I do not think cellphones should not be allowed during lectuers or classes. It is a sign of disrespectful to the teachers. Besides that the main purpose of going to school is to study. So why the heck do you need to use the phones in school ?

Well, of course you don't need it. XD
I have no comments. If the school allows me to bring, I will not think twice to bring it, it will be painful when it is lost.
Afterall, you can call by using the public phone prepared by the school.

Think about it, if you wanna bring a handphone to school, all you need to do is to shut it off when the teacher is teaching. Easy and simple that is.

yeah here in germany its normal to bring your phones to school but you cant use em during class but everywhere else because we aint got some phone provided by our school... i think its normal. we all leave it on but only with vibration and no sound so you can also be up2date in class...

Yeah having cellphones is ok as long as they aren't used during class or on school premises. That was the rule that was held at my old high school and is entirely understandable. Teachers would confiscate the phone if it rang which is totally in their right. I hated it when phones interupted class.

my opinion is that they should be allowed for emergencies and other urgent times, BUT they should be turned off during school hours to avoid distraction from work.

this is actually the rule at my school which half the kids don't follow =_="
it's really distracting if you have people txtin away in class. it's alright for afterschool and emergencies, but definitely not during class

My school doesn't allow us students to bring handphone (yes, very strict rule. if we do, they'll snatch it and possibly won't return it back unless our parents complains)
a lot of my friends do, and sadly most of them got caught. lucky ones get to hide or get escaped from the discipline teachers. I never thought of bringing my handphone to school. It'll prolly just distract me, messaging my bf or something. There's phone booths in my school, so I can actually use it XD;;..

so my answer, i'd say no @_@ eventhough for emergency

Students should be allowed to carry them but not use them in class.

yes if they off their handphones in the class then i dun see anymore problem for bringing a handphone,,,,

they should be allowed in school, as long as they are not used in class i think they are fine

Yes. They are needed for communication/information purposes e.g class cancel, sick, etc. Basically as long as you don't interupt the lesson with it, it's okay.
