Should New York’s public schoolchildren be allowed to bring cell phones to school? A group of parents has sued the city Department of Education and Mayor Michael Bloomberg—apparently the first such lawsuit in the country—claiming the cell phone ban violates their right to communicate with their children. Bloomberg and Schools Chancellor Joel Klein say they’re determined to keep the ban in place, and are refusing to even discuss a compromise.
It pits those who feel cell phones are disruptive—used for bad behavior that includes cheating, text-messaging during class, taking unauthorized photographs, stealing other student’s cell phones and arranging after-school fights—against parents who say they need to communicate with their children for safety reasons and for their own peace of mind, especially after the shootings at Columbine High School and the 9.11 terrorist attacks, which sparked new concerns among parents about being able to reach their kids during emergencies.
Ken Trump, president of National School Safety and Security Services, said he thinks students with cell phones are more a hindrance than a help during major crises.
"The last thing you need in an emergency is a 14-year-old child trying to narrate what they believe is going on, instead of being quiet and listening to the direction of the adults who are trained to keep them safe," Trump told me. "There’s a big difference between thinking you’re safe and actually being safer."
In the New York City lawsuit, plaintiffs(原告)like Camella Price say they want to be able to communicate with their children on the way to and from school. Price said last fall when her 11-year-old daughter was beaten up by other children on the way home, the girl used her cell phone to call her older sister for help. The sister came to her rescue and was also assaulted(袭击), and used her cell phone to call Price, who rushed to the scene and called police.
I know cell phones are convenient and that parents feel better when their children have them. But they’re not a necessity. Even if the schools had a policy allowing students to bring in the phones, but not use them during school hours, whose job would it be to enforce the policy? Teachers and school officials, who already have their hands full with so many other responsibilities. At a time when the school system is trying hard to raise achievement levels and ought to be focusing on teaching and keeping students safe, anything that detracts from those efforts is better left at home.
