Reply to "Cell Phones in Classrooms"

In my conversations with teachers and school social workers, I have often heard that there are many barriers to removing cell phones from the classroom.  One of the more surprising ones that I have heard is from parents saying that they  want their kids to have their phones with them so that they can reach them anytime if necessary. Parents are providing their very young children with phones, as young as grades 2 and 3.  This feels like parents are using phones as a tool to keep in touch with their kids and to make sure they are safe.
