cell phones being taken in school

i just read an article in a lot of high schools they are banning cell phones. they are taking teen phones and not giving them back until the day is over. in the article i read it had a senior that hides her phone everyday and does not text in class. she just does not want to go through all of the risks that might happen when giving you cell phone into schools. she thinks that her cell phone might get stolen, miss placed, or broken by the people who are handling them or the students when they come to get them at the end of the day. she feels that she and other student should be able to keep their phone in school and that they have no right to take her and her fellow students phones. i agree i don't think that we should get our phone taken at school i think we should be able to keep them with us. i had an experience were i was late getting my phone because i was talking to a teacher about something important and the people who give out the phones left and i was not able to get my phone until the following day. why should they be able to keep the phone my parents pay for?. at least the should ask weither they can take the phones or not. i think that students should be able to keep their phones with them in school. i think school should tell students to turn their phones off but not be able to take them. that is the job of the parent to make the decision weither their kid should be able to have the phone and be able to use it. in a way it is kinda the schools raising peoples kids.
