Should schools permit cell phone use?

"Schools should permit students to use cell phones in schools".
Our team has been building their constructive speeches, working on their cross examination questions and developing their rebuttal speeches as well.
Yesterday we held our first practice in class, Camila Arcos and Juan Jose Jaramillo represented the negative side and Ma. Lorena Barrazueta with Lisley Munoz the affirmative side.Class Judges: Melanie Espinet, Yvanna Yunez and myself. Timekeeper: Arianna Quintero.

I think like Arianna. School should permit the cellphone, it is a elementary used in the communication and a way to help us to write more. It is a negative issue because it would distract us for learning, but a same time if it is a emergency they should permit it.

As much as I probably dislike the idea of us not using phones in schools, I think it's for the best because students wouldn't really never pay attention. On the other side, students still don't pay attention even when cellphones are prohibited, so the cause of this might be something else. Maybe one fair policy would be to allow cellphones only during recess or times like that.

It is very interesting. I think cell phones are a very important device in our generation. Almost everybody has a cellphone and I think everybody should. Information comes and go in the speed of light, and everyone needs to know about the world which is moving really fast. I think the use of cell phones in school should be permitted, but not during class.
Well, here in our country not everybody has the determination or the culture to care about knoledge, so, if they permit cell phone use here, it would be chaos. The students won't focus enough. If we had a little more concious refering to our brain development, we would be more responsible in the cell phone use issue.
