Cell Phones in School

** Should students be allowed to have cell phones in elementary, middle, or high school?**

     I think that students of all ages and grades should be allowed to have cell phones in school. The reason is because the school promotes technologically literate students. If a school encourages technological literacy, then I think cell phones are also helping achieve that goal. Also, many school directors tell students that teachers are more "responsible" with what they do since they are older and more professional, but adults and  students have no difference at all. You can find a lot more teachers using their cell phones in class than students now in this modern time. 
     Another reason why students should be allowed to use their cell phones is because it is our unspoken right. The school system takes away a lot of our rights as a student, and I do not think it would be fair for students if they took away cell phones. Also, cell phones are not only used to text or call our friends or family, but it is also needed for emergency situations, and if the school would take our phones away and an emergency occurs then we would have nothing to contact anyone. So I think students of all grades should be allowed to have phones with them in school.
