Should cell phones be allowed in public schools? Many people argue that in an emergency students should have the ability to have a phone available. While we can all recognize the fact that emergencies happen and that contacting the authorities is important. It is also important that cell phones not create many more problems than they solve. Students could lose focus on learning and spend their instructional time texting. There are ways in which technology that students want to use can be incorporated into classroom practice, doing so may help to eliminate these issues.
