    Great,I fully support this

    Schools should be places to learn, not to be distracted by continuous alerts from phone addicted children

      I fully support this as long as they put the pay phones back in the schools so kids can call their parents when they need to

        A school shouldn’t make kids pay to call their legal guardian. Make phone calls free.

          Either way, there should some way to do it without having to go to the main office and ask to use their phone or something. When I was a kid we had payphones, back when it cost a dime.

            I’m sorry but just wondering here… Why would you need to phone home up to the point where you can’t be without a phone? I didn’t have phones in my school, never needed them either. A lot of people are acting as if not having phones will kill them where in reality, everyone will be just fine.

              Like when my kid is finished with his club after school and it’s raining and he’d like me to pick him up. Or he’s at school and realizes he forgot to take his medication. One time his bike was broken and he couldn’t ride it.

              I’m glad for you that you never once had a need to call home. I congratulate you. Some people do need to, and I just hope they have a way.

        Why would even that be necessary? It’s school, not jail or drug den…

        Kids survived fine without phones for millenia, I’m sure they can survive now. If there is a real emergency, then I’m sure some supervisor can make a call…
