Parents shouldn't allow their kids to take them to school...
Of course they will site safety issues. I made it out of high school without a phone.
But that was when every school had dozens of pay phones and just about every gas station had a couple as well... or were you in school pre telephones?Hehe, just kidding on that last statement.
Think about it. Can you tell me where the nearest pay phone is to your home right now?
That is not to excuse the behavior of the students, but I can see the value of kids having a phone in easy reach these days. It is, however, a privilege to be earned. I say these kids blew it, and should loose the digital package on their phones until they show they are capable of maintaining a certain amount of dignity.

There were payphones in my high school, but students weren't allowed to use them during class hours.
