Cellphones at School

As most of you already know the ban on cell phones at Buljan has gotten students upset. The majority of the students and I agree that the rule about no cell phones on campus should be changed. There are several reasons why the rule should be altered. Those reasons are contact with parents, important calls, and most importantly safety.

My first reason was contact with parents. Say practice ends early how do you call someone to give you a ride home. Sure you can always walk home well what if no one is there and you can't get in. Then that's why you have a key well what if you lose it or your house is too far you could be waiting for hours. You can't have a child waiting outside for that long they could be hurt or kidnapped.

My second reason was important calls or contacts. You and your friends have a project or you need the homework assignment. You have all the numbers in your cell phone. That's why you have a phone book well what if you lose it. Then what if you lose your cell phone you can always call it.

My third and most important reason was safety. Did you know that in the incident at Columbine High School the first 911 calls were made by cell phones? That could mean if all the students didn't have cell phones there might have not been any 911 calls and all the students and staff could have gotten shot or even killed.

Cell phones are an important item not just for your social life but for the safety for our lives too. The rule of cell phones being banned should be changed for the safety of children now and for future generations.
