Cell phones in school CITES: [] http://www.cellutips.com/cell-phone-ban-in-school-five-reasons-for-three-reasons-against-one-reason-to-rule-them-all-and-in-the-darkness-bind-them/ Cell phones could be used in case of emergency’s for example Most schools have very specific guidelines written into their handbooks and acceptable use policy manuals. All students agree to abide by those rules both while on the school premises and also while under the school's jurisdiction when off campus. Again, one could say that parents should trust the school’s representatives with their children’s safety and that families should try to spend more time together instead of having to talk over electromagnetic waves. //Yes, you can still live on without a cell phone.// Most students use their phone responsibly. Instead of enforcing a ban, **teach them how to use their mobile phone in society**. That way, when they get out of school, they will be more aware of the people around them when they make or receive phone calls. I bet they will behave better than 75% of the adults with cell phones out there.
 * 1) **Feeling of security ** – Knowing that your children are reachable anytime is quite reassuring for a parent, especially after events such as the Columbine shooting and the September 11th tragedy.
 * 2) **It brings families together ** – Families don’t seem to have much time to spend together anymore. With overtime and after-school activities, having the ability to communicate with any one of your family member helps bringing families together.
 * 3) **Cellphones are convenient ** – Everybody is more busy nowadays. Students are involved in activities after school, and practices and meeting time tend to vary a lot. It is very convenient for a student who does not have access to public transportation to call their parents for a ride when they need one.
