On Monday morning, a second grade teacher in Madison, Wisconsin, called 911 to report that a student had opened fire. Lois M. Collins reports that earlier reports mistakenly identified the caller as a second grade student, sparking debate of the role cellphones should play in schools. Yes, they can be a distraction and a detriment to mental health, when used improperly. Used properly, however, can they save lives? “The most recent school shooting comes at a time when state lawmakers, school districts and others are pondering or actually banning students’ cellphones in school,” Lois writes. “That, in turn, has some parents and others wondering whether phones are actually a safety help should something dire occur.” Read more about how an urgent 911 call has recharged the debate on the use of smartphones in schools.
