I do not think that allowing the use of cell phones should be allowed in class. This would just allow a student to text or surf the web on his/her phone without the worry of getting caught by the teacher. It would also be harder for a teacher to see what exactly the student is doing on the phone because the screens on phones are considerably smaller than those of computers. Also, why use cell phones to take notes? Aren't computers enough to do the job, and even if they are, student still get distracted and surf the web or play games during class anyways. So why give the students another distraction?

I agree with Matthew, cell phones are a major distraction in class, if kids in schools are allowed to use their phones, they could surf the web, text friends, check email, play games, just about anything these days. There are elements to a phone that could potentally provide a feeling of security for a student, such as in case of an emergency a phone can be used to call the police, but otherwise the school, that these kids are attending, should have a reasonable and fast acting system so no threats could ever harm the students.
Taking notes on phones is also not reasonable, I personally would never want to take notes on a 3.5 by 2 inch screen. It would be extremely hard to read and write. On my phone I type in short for such as why- y you-u. On a phone this is natural beacause the screen is very small and it is convientnt. I feel that this would promote this text talk.
The rule with phones in schools should stand as it is. No phones in class unless they are off.
