What is your opinion about allowing students to have cell phones in class?

     At this time in education, I believe that at the elementary level cell phones should not be allowed in the classroom.  I teach fourth grade.  I took a survey of my students on the ownership of cell phones.  Three out of the twenty-three students have their own cell phone.  That is 13% of my student population.  Since this percentage is so low, I do not see the usefulness of cell phones in my classroom.
