Why does a 10 yo have a phone? My 8th graders don't. The school has plenty of free phones they can use.
Last place I taught didn't even allow high schoolers to have cell phones. We didn't actively look for them, but if one went off in class, or we caught them using the cell phone, we took it away and mom or dad had to come down and pay 15$ to get it back. Ticked off alot of parents, but you're right, there are phones all over the schools.
