The problem in the classroom....cell phones. [View all]

In the incident that is getting so much discussion,is the problem that the girl had a phone?

I know there are two sides to the story of letting students have access to phones.

I am wondering if posters ,especially with recent school experience have opinions about if the students should keep phones while in class instruction.
