Should students be allowed to have cell phones in elementary and high schools? NO THEY SHOULDN'T! Yes maybe they need to contact their parents and all that stuff but they can always use the school's teacher's or other class mates' cell. With having your own phone, it is a problem with your studies as it takes away your concentration by maybe texting or playing games therefore leading to the next reason why students should not have phones. Texting makes them socialize which is a good thing but if they socialize to much people may find out more about the student without the student knowing and therefore leading to bullying and lowing the student's self-esteem. Schools simply should not let students use phones. Though if serious the school should just have the student put their phone at the student reception for the day and pick it up at the end of the day. Therefore, the student can remember to keep their mind on work and studies and also it will have a lower chance of losing it. So, elementary and high school students should not be allowed to carry cell phones to school
