There are NO reasons for allowing phones in school ! If a parent needs to contact their child in an emergency - they can call the school.... If a pupil takes ill - the school will have a contact number for the parent or guardian ! Allowing kids to take their phones into school - leaves them vulnerable to bullying or victimisation.

Second opinion...

Sometimes the kids need phones in school, because not all schools are good about contacting parents. They try to cover situations, like bullying, if they already have a bad reputation for it. My daughter was punched in the throat by a school bully, and she was not allowed to contact me, even when she was in the nurse's office having difficulty breathing. They told her it needed to be dealt with "in-house" without parental involvement. If she hadn't been able to go in the bathroom and sneak me a text, I wouldn't have known she had been assaulted and injured until hours later. Most teachers do their jobs, and they do them well. However, things aren't like they used to be. There are a lot of politics in the modern school, and as much as you hope admin will involve you as a parent, there is always a chance that you can't trust them to do what they should. Also, the phones are just helpful if your child needs to stay after to make up a test, practice runs over, or they want to text you from lunch to bring a friend home.

  1. Safety to and from the school
  2. Medical conditions
  3. Line of contact to parents when child has been cut off from communication
  4. Protection from teachers themselves. Most teachers are great, but we've seen the news. Inappropriate things can happen.
  5. Convenience
  6. Some teachers encourage kids to download specific educational apps for use with projects
  7. Sometimes students are allowed to use their phone to access Google for resources
  8. Getting rides home from practice or events
  9. Protection from bullying
  10. Texts to parents during lunchtime for a variety of reasons
