No Cell Phones at School

Cell phones are not permitted during school hours due to the distractions made in the class room causing the learning atmosphere to not be the top priority in student's education. The advantages of owning a cell phone are obvious; if there is a problem at school you have easy access to calling a guardian. The disadvantages of having a cell phone turned on during school hours are school is for learning, not playing and the newer cell phones that include cameras can become a large privacy problem.
