The banning of cell phones seems to be an interesting development that is occurring in various schools. It is much like the ban of cell phones while driving… first it began with individual areas, but now it has escalated to most locations banning the use of phones while operating a motor vehicle, unless it is with a hands-free device. Like this type of legislature, we will almost certainly begin to see more and more schools adopting similar rules on a broader scale.

But different than driving, in school cell phone usage doesn’t cause life or death accidents. Many parents see it as the opposite- in a day in age where we have to be cautious about terrorist attacks and other possible threats, having a method of communication with their children readily available can be life-saving and lend some “peace of mind.”

So what is the answer? School cell phone usage doesn’t have to be an “all or nothing” case. It’s actually quite simple- allow children to carry phones – but have in-school hours blocked out for regular calls and texting, except for emergencies.  

This is very easy to do and would make all parties happy. And we ought to know- afterall, we provide these options to customers all over the world!
