I strongly think that all elementary school kids should have cell phones. Of course, some parents think kids are too young to have cell phone because they are to irresponsible. However, I think there are more reasons for kids to have cell phones than to not have cell phones.

One reason why kids should have cell phones is to contact parents if there is an emergency at a friend’s house.

The second reason is after school, while walking home or riding the bus, kids need to contact parents. They need to contact parents to find out if someone is home. That is important to know because all elementerary school kids are too young to stay home alone.

The third reason why kids should have cell phones is for entertainment on long car trips and when kids are bored. It gives kids access to the Internet and games.

The last, but not least, reason is for patrols who have afternoon post. They can call their family to come pick them up when their patrol post is done for the day.

By alowing kids to have cell phones, kids will be more safe, entertained, and be able to comunicate with their family.
