Students need phone at school

I was surprised when I heard that our State House is considering banning cell phone at school. I admit that cell phone abstracts students at school, but it is important for students too because kids need to keep in touch with their parents if there is an emergency.

Cell phone is also a useful tool for students either at or out of school. Cell phone could access internet, so it's a main source to get information, news and weather.

Another strong function of cell phone is entertainment. People need to relax, so do students. People can use cell phone to take photos, which could save the great memories between friends. Texting is also an important way of communication in daily life.

Although government could ban cell phones at school, there must be some students who will not follow the rule. Teachers are afraid of students do not listen the class, but forcing them to turn over the cell phone is not a good idea.
