Which reasons support the argument that cell phones should be turned off at school? Check all that apply. Parents should be able to text kids anytime in case of emergency. Ringing and vibrating phones disrupt classroom instruction. Many applications and Internet sites display inappropriate material. Students should be encouraged to use smart phones for research. Text messages are personal and should be written in private. Phones often contain calendars that are essential for time management.

This might not be the right answer but, teachers should let the students on their phone if they get a call, or text because it could be an emergency. But students do take advantage of this and use their phones constantly while the teacher is talking, or giving you instructions. It is rude that students do this, but they should be allowed to answer phone calls and texts as long as they are still paying attention and not being rude to the teacher or other students that might be giving a presentation.
