This is the same policy as in the middle school where I teach (grades 6-8). I cannot coneive of a scenario in which the immediate intervention of an eleven year old would be of such importance that the time delay required to call the office and have a message delivered would be disastrous. I can't really concieve of any legitimate use a 6-8th grader might have for a cell phone in class.
