Discussion report 9

I attended the town hall meeting. The topic of the discussion was that whether we allowed students to use cellular phones at schools or not. The junior high school and elementary school students can bring their cellular phones as noisemakers to the school, but teachers collect them at morning and bring them back after school.
There were 5 panelists. Shino called Mr. York id a professor of sociology. Chie called Bob is a high school teacher. He said that it is not good to use a cellular phone during class. Ai called Aiko is a high school student in the third grade. Mr. York, Bob, and Aiko disagree with the statement. Narumi called Akiko is a housewife and she has two daughters. Atsuko called Yukino is a high school student. They agree with the statement.
They decided to have the information class in the school, but they don't allow students bring cellular phone to the school. I didn't know the point of the discussion. I thought that they didn't need to discuss the statement. Students can't use their cellular phone at school, so there is not any problems. They should have set the situation carefully.
