I have 2 kids in school, one in middle school and one in high school. My middle schooler uses a "shared/family" cell phone when she's not at home, but she does not bring it to school. My son has his own cell phone, pays his own bill, etc. He always has it with him, even at school, although turned off while in school or at least the ringer turned off. I sometimes need to text message him or leave him voice messages that he can check after school is out. It's so convenient, and again, for safety reasons, I'm glad I can reach him when I need to, and that he can call me anytime if he needs me, even between classes or at lunch during the school day.
