Teachers Integrating Cell Phones Into Classrooms
If you can't beat em'...let them use their cell phones in class.
Teachers, who have obviously realized that cell phones are as ubiquitous in schools as paper and pencils, are beginning to use the ubiquitous devices as educational tools. According to a Pew Research Center survey, approximately 71-percent of teens who responded to the survey own cell phones. Teachers are using the cell phones to send e-mails, virtual handouts and podcasts.
The logic here is simple, but it does raise questions. Will students unable to afford cell phones have a stigma attached to them and be ridiculed by their fellow classmates? Will students that can afford cell phones have an advantage over those students who cant?
If done correctly, this techno-integration of the classroom could be a teachers best friend. Conversely, if executed poorly, it could be the catalyst for yet another source of social segregation. [From: Textually]

i think teachers should allow cell phones in public schools because of saftey reason.kids r not how they used to be.now u can get shot or stabbed after school.years ago the worse thing that happened is that u got beat up and kids fought with they're hands.
u used to be able to go to the guidance couc.or principle for help,now they r scared of the kids themselves. sad
