I personally think that cell phones should not be allowed in the classroom.
Having cell phones in the classroom is a distraction to the student and the teacher, if the student cannot live without his/her cell phone for the length of the class period maybe what they need is to see someone for their addictive personality . I wish that it was legal to have blockers in the classroom that would stop them from getting a signal. I know someone said that it is their education, but at the same time the teacher does not need to compete with the cell phone in the classroom. Some of these students need to go back and review common courtesy and respect for other people.
This is just my two cents worth
