But if anything urgent were to happen at school the student can go to the office and make a phone call there.

I believe they should not just be permitted to use cell phones, they should be required to use them.
Students can cheat on exams using their phones. Teenagers who constantly have their cell phones with them during class have become adept at using their cell phones without getting caught by the teacher. Any student can text answers to a friend.

Teachers do not get mad about cell phones in class because they are mean, or don’t want students to socialize, but they do it for students benefit. They are trying to prepare students for the future and the lives we will go on to live after high school. If we don’t learn what we are supposed to during our high school years we will not be prepared for the advanced knowledge college or university offers us.

If you deny students the use of cellphones you could possibly be keeping them from learning a dire skill for their future jobs.
