Out here, in some schools they don't even allow phones on multi-day school field trips. The class teacher has a single, dumb, "class phone", all the parents know the number, all the kids can use it at apropriate times to call their parents, so all the "emergency" needs are covered, but the kids are not glued to a phone half the time there.
