Also i feel mobile phones are a boon to working parents to know the where abouts of kids ... Why cant the schools think of checking the kids, keeping mobile phones in custody till school time ends ... And they can give it back by school time. But the school fellows will have additional responsibility ... Parents will complain about the loss of phones etc... But are we talking about kids who dont have mobile phones and the feelings.. I accept that too...But cannot digets the fact of banning it...
