true emergencies like that are thankfully very rare. teachers and professors, i'm sure, always have their phones with them.
i don't agree with not needing to have a cell phone at all, though. It's a great convenience that helps people everyday.
it's just not necessary to have a phone turned on during school hours. if you had a family emergency your parents would have to call the school anyway to let them know, so there's really no advantage to having it in class. except for talking to friends. and i don't think that's allowed
