Distraction
Perhaps the largest drawback to allowing cell phones in schools is that they can become an ever-present distraction for students. While it is often easy for teachers to spot and reprimand students that talk in class, cell phone texting is more difficult to punish since it is silent and devices can be concealed under desks. Even if teachers do not allow cell phone use in their classrooms, students can become distracted if they receive incoming calls or messages, and phones ringing or vibrating can disrupt class.
Another drawback of allowing cell phones is that they can be used to cheat during quizzes and exams. A student could receive silent text messages from a friend that has already taken a certain exam during a test.
Parent Communication
One of the benefits of allowing cell phones in schools is that it allows parents to communicate with children at any time. In the past, parents often never knew where their children were until they came home. With cell phones, parents can check up on kids and arrange transportation or relay important information if necessary.
Emergencies
Cell phones can be an invaluable tool in emergency situations. For instance, if a student is severely injured or there is a crisis situation, cell phones can allow students to contact authorities for help. This can be especially important for students that drive to school.
On the other hand, cell phones can have some drawbacks in emergency situations. It is possible that mass cell phone use during an emergency will clog communication systems. Cell phones can also be used by students to create false emergencies in an attempt to get out of class.
Enforcing Rules
Banning cell phones presents the problem of enforceability. Even if a school or a certain class does not allow cell phone use, students may ignore the rules, and it can be difficult to catch cell phone users. Even if they are caught, enforcing rules takes time and creates a distraction in and of itself. Some feel it may be better to allow students that want to distract themselves with texting to do so, rather than force the entire class to wait as the texter is reprimanded by the teacher.
