ONE. you can contact friends or family for answers on tests, and definitely they don't want that and they'll give you a case (our school STRICTLY prohibits bringing of cellphones)\nTWO. it could get stolen/lost and everyone gets to be the suspect\nTHREE. Everyone can get jealous of your cellphone if you have the latest model, then they decide to steal it...

im in high school, and i kno tons of people that use their cell phones to call the teachers phone.  let me tell you, it can be quite hilarious, especially when u have a teacher who thinks that when the phone rings its like htis big exciting deal. lol.  i had a friend who actually called from the bathroom and told a substitute teacher that she was needed in the office.  she ran to the office, leaving the students alone in class. i heard that was a funni one, but after she came back, everyones cells were searched for the classroom's number.

The advantages include: making money for survival and tuition, work experience, a "reality check" of what it's like outside school, meeting new people and learning new skills.\n\nThe disadvantages include: taking time away from schoolwork (this is especially harmful for people who need to keep a certain grade level to keep scholarships etc), extra stress, fatigue, possibly hazardous work conditions (younger workers tend to have worse jobs), and possible exploitation at work because of one's youth. Any young worker is wise to learn all he or she can about the labor laws in the state or province, so that they know their rights at work. Good luck!

1.  You can spend too much time online.\n2.  While browsing the web while in the tub, you could drop your notebook in and get a mild 12v shock.\n3.  You could fall down the stairs while wandering around while browsing the web.\n\nAny # of scenarios are possible, I guess.\n\nWLAN uses similar frequency to cordless phone, really haven't heard of many health issues.

I dont think they should allow phones in school,,,the kids are there to learn and God knows they ALL already know how to use a dang phone.

Are you trying to keep cellphones in school?  If so, Emergency situations.....too many emergencies these days.  You have kids bringing weapons to school. Also, what if a fight breaks out and no teachers are around?  This is tough, this is the only thing I can think of.

You will not be able to access it at school. Another option would be a public library, our has computers.

Students should be allowed to carry a cellular phone with them during school hours. To prevent disruption of class the phones should always be off. They should not use the phone unless they are on break or it is an emergency. Not a "Oh my goodness, my hair is a mess" emergency, but a true emergency. We have school violence and natural disasters, things that happen not on the average day, but a parent or guardian does feel more at ease believing that if they can find their child or reassure them. So I say allow cell phones, but be responsible. Don't disrupt the class.

I am very old and from my perspective I wonder about the addictive nature of mobile phones and teenagers dependency upon them. I think that during a study session any interuption is unwelcome. Do they turn the phones off at these times? Do they get anxious if they do not receive calls/texts? does the compulsion to use the phone distract them from serious, productive study?

Not on school grounds unless you want to get into trouble.  And parents also seem to be against that sorta stuff too.

Trade in your child's cellphone for a model that does not support internet protocols. If you can't find a dealer who will do this, try ebay for cheap used phones.

I personally think that iPods, PDAs and laptops can help you with schoolwork, but not if used in excess. Before a test, for instance, listening to music could calm you down and stimulate your mind for the test. Also, PDAs and laptops can be useful study tools. However, when people use these electronics in class, it becomes distracting.

Pros: Avoid pay-telephone booths, call parents for emergencies, cheat on tests ;)\n\nCons: bill for parents (sometimes student takes care of it), disrupts other students from learning, RADIATION FROM THE PHONES WILL MAKE THEM SMALLER ;)

While it is legal for a teacher to confiscate such "contraband" such as cell phones, it is illegal to charge the student money to have the confiscated property returned.

No!  I made it without a cell phone, so can all these spoiled little brats.  It is a distraction to say the least.  School is for learning; did you know that?  I don't think many people do anymore.  Hell, just look at the poor spelling on this site.....'Nuff said!
