On one side, Ms. Jamil, staff member here at the Boys & Girls Clubs and former teacher. Her position? Absolutely under no circumstances should there be cellphone use in the classroom. On the other side, all of us teens here at the club. We make the case for why we should be allowed to use our phones in case of emergencies, how we can incorporate cellphones in the lesson plans and how schools can benefit too by making cellphone policies more lenient. Is there a winning side? Listen and find out.
