As a teacher, I can see both sides of cell phone rules. Teachers and administration don't want cell phones to interrupt learning, but students want to be able to keep in touch with their families and loved ones. Lately, I've been of the opinion that students should be able to keep their phones on them for safety reasons; however, they should not be allowed to have them ON during class. With all of the recent school shootings, I am a bit apprehensive about telling students they shouldn't have their phones with them.
