Should beepers be banned?

I believe that beepers should not be banned from school because parents won’t be able to reach their childern easily in an emergency. Another reason is that if the students have to go somewhere and they don’t know and the mother don’t have the school number she could beep her child and say meet me at a certain time. Another reason is that if the student is in a fight and some other kids want to jump the student, the child could beep her sister or her friends to come down and defend her.

I think that people who say yes to bannins beepers os not right because even thow the kids have beepers, they could put o\it on vibrate and the teachers and the students would never findout who is beeping the person. Another reason is that, for my opinon, that is none of the teachers business if the students have a beeper because teachers asume that the student is a drug dealer. If the student is a drug dearler let the person because that’s the way they make money because they can't find another job.

In my opinon beepers should not be banned because now in these days beepers are in style and very teengers wants to use it. Not only but because beepers are sometimes for emergency. If beepers were banned, parents couldn’t contact their children.
