Any student that enters the classroom with his or her cell phone
simply shows lack of interest in learning, lack of self restraint

they have cell phones, nothing stops them from using their phones in
class.
Another reason why phones are not allowed in the CSCSU schoolhouses
is cheating. Students can easily send answers to each other
