there might be work on there to finish Their teacher might allow them on their phone to take pictures of their learning They should allow phones so that if they don't have a chromebook yet and you do not know words then you can use google to see what it means. They should allow phones in case they are gonna do a experiment on their phone They should allow phones in case of an emergency at their school they can call for help They should allow phones at school because they might have no Ipads, Chromebooks and other things	They should not allow it because it distracts them on their learning. They should not bring their phone because they would probably just cheat on a test or on their worksheet I disagree because they will muck around like go on Instagram, Snapchat and Youtube They should not allow phones because they might do bad stuff and they might get a virus on there. They should never do that because they will just watch youtube and play games

confiscate

home and you can play with it after school.
