Writing Sprint - Cell Phones

Cell phones definitely can be a distraction towards learning. I don't really think that they should be banned from classrooms though. They do have an educational purpose, like if you need to know how to spell a word or need the definition of a word it's a lot easier to google it than to go get a dictionary. You can also use your phone to research things for class work. If it does become a distraction or isn't being used in a good way in class I think teachers should be able to take them away (with warning) for the period. Not the whole day or the whole week, cause that's stupid.
