celll phones in our schools

...Did your school ever forbid you from calling your mother when you were a child? Children today still need to call their mothers occasionally. However, the school forbids it. Schools now have considerably stricter policies regarding cell phones, sometimes even in cases of emergency. Therefore, it would be fantastic if schools allowed us to use our cell phones while in class.

The principal's voice suddenly blares across the intercom.

could use the cell phones that the very few students brought to school but so
many students using five or six cell phones wouldn’t you think that the
battery would die out?! How would a child reach their parents to tell them
