SMARTPHONES: Ban goes too far

I just wanted to shed some light on the other side of the argument regarding smartphones in school. I have two daughters, one goes to Lake City High and the other goes to Woodland Middle School. With the recent school shootings, I believe it would be foolish to take away my daughter’s ability to communicate with the world outside the school’s walls. I agree that smartphone use during school hours should be restricted, but to outright ban them would be a mistake. Some of these responses remind me of out of touch elderly who just can’t understand kids these days.
