Because, honestly, I'm skeptical that's the sole reason they are banned now.

that is the reason they were originally banned, at least in my school district. reasons for the ban were removed from the rule, but wihtout a period to see if kids could handle having cell phones. i'm disinclined to pull up the specifics on it, but a search for cell phones + drug paraphanelia will give you some results.

it was assumed that only drug dealers would have cell phones or beepers, and that's why they were banned. being caught with one in school meant a drug paraphanelia charge.

there was never a period after these bans that cell phones were allowed. there was no trial period- cell phones, for the most of their existance, have been banned in schools. at least, the school's i've gone to.
