Cellphones in School?

Should cellphones be allowed in school? Everyday when you go to school everyone has their cellphone. We believe that cellphones should be allowed in school but left in your lockers and off. You can have them with you, and on, before school, during lunch, and after school. The most frustrating thing to a teacher is when a cellphone goes off in class or a person is texting in class. We took a guess that about 75% of high school students have cellphones. They are thinking about putting pay phones in the school. Do you think cellphones should be allowed in school?
