Should SIS allow students to use their cell phones during school day?

     As a student in my opinion, SIS should allow their students to use their cellphones during the school day.  Every other school on Saipan allows their students to use their phones for music as well as calling their parents.  Cell phones are a very useful part of life.  Today phones have built in wifi which gives us cellphone users access to the internet.  The use of internet is important in school so why not use our phones to check out a website or to look up a vocabulary work.  In some cases a student may have forgotten a book, notebook, or something important and he would have to call his parents so that they could bring him.  Instead of walking all the way to the office from the high school, a student can conveniently pull out his cell phone and either call or text his or her mom or dad.  The fact that students are not allowed to use their cellphones at any time of the school day without permission is pretty dumb.  During lunch or free time a student should have some access to their phones to either listen to music or to look something up on their phone.  Music can relax ones mind, and through our cellphones nowadays music is easily accessed with out cellphones.
     If Saipan International School gave students the right of using their cellphones during class would be a lot more convenient.  Anytime a student would need to look up something or text his or her mom he or she can pull out his or her cellphone without having it taken away by or teacher or getting detention.  Maybe if students had access to their cellphones, teachers would see that we are not doing anything serious on our cellphones and it is just easier access to things that we essentially need.
      Another reason why students at SIS should have access to their cellphones at anytime is to listen to music.  In the middle of class it is understandable that students are not allowed to listen to music, but duriing break, lunch , or after school, students should have the right to listen to music.  It is proven that music can relax and sooth ones mind and after a long test or a very long day, us students need nothing more than a little relaxation.  In my opinion, students should be able to use their cellphones at any time of the school day at SIS.  Unfortunately that will probably never happen for another 10-15 years.
