But maybe these also won't be allowed in schools, but if the child agrees to only use in emergencies then there shouldn't be a problem??

I have 2 son who are 1 and 3, so I do feel like kids shouldn't be allowed to have cell phone in school, as I didn't have a cell phone until I was in college. However, I'm sure I would change when my sons gets older.... Thank you for sharing.

Then one night my husband was away on business and my daughter had a softball game on one side of town while my son had a baseball game on the other side of town at roughly the same time. So I dropped my daughter off first and drove my son to his game. I watched for a little while then left during the game to pick up my daughter. My son's games usually took much longer because they were all third graders so it took each one several tries to hit the ball and they'd pitch 'til they hit. For some reason his game ended early and I wasn't back from picking up my daughter yet. His regular coach was on vacation and the second in command had to work late, so one of the dads was in charge. He saw my son sitting on the bench as everyone was leaving and said "hey kid, do you need a ride?" My son said,"no, my mom will get me." So the man picked up his things and his son and he left. He left my son (a third grader) alone at the ballpark at 7:30 at night. I was horrified. I bought him a cell phone shortly after.

One way is to buy the pay as you go phone for use only in an emergency. I think it is very important for your child to have a cell phone at school.As long as they don’t abuse it.
