Disadvantages and advantages of using cellphones?

Answer:
Most kids these days sneak around and use their phones in school anyways; do you think they should just allow it? In my opinion I think that it should be allowed. Not all the time, but it should be allowed in the hallways and in study halls. I understand that we shouldn't have our phones during productive classes, but I don't understand why we can't have them in the halls and in study hall. My reasoning's for this is because sometimes random emergency's come up, it doesn't hurt to have usage of it when you are not doing work, and if they're really sick all they have to do is text their parents to come get then instead of going to the office. So they should allow phones.
