Cell phones are helpful tools that allow people to easily access information and stay organized.

In the latest survey, 78 percent of kids asked said that they believed they should be allowed to bring cell phones to school.

Schools should not allow kids to bring cell phones because they are too much of a distraction.

Not every kid can have a cell phone because they are expensive and many kids do not have jobs.

There should not be any required classes in school because kids should take whichever classes they want.

It is important for kids to get exercise every day, so physical education should be required in school.

Some kids are really athletic and enjoy taking physical education, but others do not like it and would prefer not to take it.
