Cell Phones In School

Should America’s children have cell phones in school? Lets think about the world we live in. We live in a world where maniacs don’t hesitate to shoot up schools. We live in a world where some weirdo pervert won’t hesitate to snatch up innocent kids coming to and from school. But on the flip side todays children are smarter than the children of the last generation. The majority of schools have a no cell phones policy due to the fact that some children use their phones for cheating on exams, talking to their friends during class time, and the new phenomenon of sending an obscene amount of text messages back and forth to each other.

Now how do we balance our children’s safety with the need to make sure that they are learning when they are at school. While there is no perfect cell phone for kids, I think that with a little research you can find the right cell phone for kids. You can use the Jitterbug which started out as a phone for kids but has evolved into a phone for those who just want a phone with no frills and no thrills. There are also several pay as you go options that can help make sure that you are in control for the most part. But whether you pick a pay as you go option or any other cell phone option the important point is your child’s safety.

Now do I think there should be cell phones in school? You better believe it. I also believe that college students with gun permits should be allowed to have there weapons on campus but that is another article. The fact of the matter is, the times have changed and we should make sure that our kids can get a hold of us if they need to. I don’t have any children yet but when I do, if they aren’t allow yet, my kid will still have a phone. And he or she better answer when I call to lol! When I was in  junior high school my mom made sure I had a beeper so she could keep tabs on me. She was and still is a great mom.

I really hope that the schools will modify they’re no cell phone policies but if they don’t, the parents should have the final say. You should demand the final say. Please tell me in the comments how you feel about cell phones in school.
