Cell phone use during a school-wide emergency does much more harm than good. Even a small amount of student calls could spark a panic among parents; the last thing a SWAT team needs is a rush of concerned parents blocking their way to the school. Any operating cell phone presents an even more extreme danger: the waves emitted by cell phones can set off bombs. Having all the students' cell phones on would certainly set one off. | Cell phone use during a school-wide emergency does much more harm than good.

So i say that no having cell phones in school does not worsen cheating. Cell phones could not be used because in a quite room a vibrating cell phone can be heard.If the test was being timed you have no time to go non the Internet or text a friend for an answer. There would just be no point. So the simple answer to this is that kids should be able to have cell phones because it will take longer for you to look up the answer then to just think of it yourself. | So i say that no having cell phones in school does not worsen cheating.
