No Phone's Aloud

Did you know 95% of parents agree that allowing their student to bring their cell phones to school enhances their responsibility and teaches a student how to care for something. Cell phones can often time be seen as a dumb gadget we use to kill and time for entertainment purposes but it is far more than that . It must be accepted that cell phones can be used to save lives , to ease the nerves of a loved one , not anger a student , or to even be used as a reward. So instead of being simple minded , there is another big picture being

From personal experience, I can say that high school students are going to have cell phones in class regardless of the punishments associated with getting caught; the main reason is that they seldom get caught. With one teacher and roughly thirty students, it is easy to sneak by the teacher’s gaze and send a text message here or there or find the score to the big game that you missed. Michael Rich, pediatrician and media expert, says, “Pandora’s box is open here… What we need to do is take control of them instead of them control us” (Teachers vs. Texting). To help reduce these disruptions from occurring, we need to incorporate cell phones into high school classroom with the other technologies to promote interactive and kinesthetic learning.

In each school there are absurd rules; ours by far has the most. Ok I get it, the staff is trying to us learn with a cleaner environment, but they have to be able to understand that phones CAN help you learn! Phones give us opportunities to hold many useful things such as calculators, passwords, and our schedules. I can see that they would want to take it away because it is “distracting”, but I honestly think that it is more distracting not having it then actually having it, now all we can think about is checking our phones. Although much of the public debate is against it, there are pros associated with allowing cell phones in school. These advantages should not be ignored since cellphones in schools can actually add value to the

In school systems today safety is the top priority that they spend most of their time enforcing rules for this specific reason. After hearing about the Columbine school shooting I can only imagine the pain their parents felt while receiving the news. If the students had access to their cell phones could this have turned out differently? Dr. Stroka talks in a school safety video that you have to put a face on school safety and most people have forgotten what that’s about (Ken Trump). If students have access to phones it betters the chance of getting help right away in life threatening

Hmm, phones in the classroom! What do you think? That is a debate between billions of people in the world today. Children all over the world have phones, but they can not have them out during school hours. Cell phones are important to so many kids and adults. These devices have been around for so long, and many people can not live without them. All around the school campus, students are miserable without their phones. In the world today, about three-fourths of the U.S. population have phones. A cell phone is an important thing to some people. Without cell phones, kids wouldn't have access to their social media accounts like Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more. So take this into consideration, even if it is in one class, students should be allowed to get on their cell phones during school hours.

Another reason is phones we all know students love to have their phones with them well if they have it where are they going to put them? Your pocket? What if it falls out? If that happens you will most likely get it taken up unless the teacher is willing to be super nice but I doubt that will happen then what are you gonna do you didn’t have anywhere to put it so

I think that it is okay to bring a phone in school and in class, but the teacher should only give the students one minute to look at their phone so that they will not get distracted while the teacher is teaching. Most of the things we do in our everyday lives includes phone, phone also helps us to search for information, I think phone should only be allowed when you have something to search on subject related.

Although some people think that if phones are allowed in school the students will play games and text each other during class. They also would find it as a distraction to the students that don’t have phones. Though it would be pretty hard for students to play games and text each other if the teachers are monitoring their class to make sure that the students are doing what they're supposed to do.

School and police officials do need to have the authority to check students’ phones in order to keep the community safe. if a fight breaks out at a school , and a student has recorded it and posted it, the principal should not be able to take action. “Others think that punishing students for what they do on the web is the responsibility of parents, not schools.” (Password Protected).I think that schools should never. Have the right to check a student's phone for anything because, students parents. Might have little dirty jokes sent from their parents and, if a school employee finds that the student could get in so much trouble for

To continue, I would modify the existing policy to another less harsh strategy. The strategy I would imprint would require the teacher to give the student a warning if he or she is caught with her or his phone out during class.

We all know that student are going to do everything when it come to their phone,when the teacher comes and take it from them they are going to have their excuses and they may even not give it to you and what i'm trying to say that is not worth your time or the student time just to fight for the phone, this is one to the reason that if the phone policy would change this things would change and none of this would if the phone policy would change, it is a good idea for student to have there phone in school they can us their phones so the can be focused on their work you maybe be wonder how are they going to focus on their work when they have there phone them, well we all know that students like listening to music, well music can make you focus on your

If you’re caught playing on your phone in class, discipline like you would when you’re caught playing games on the chromebook. I believe that students should be able to carry their phones with them throughout the school day because there could be an emergency when we need them, and it could help us keep up with schoolwork if we don’t have the proper materials. A recurring problem this year has been that kids aren’t charging their chromebooks when they go home. If students were allowed to bring their phones to school, we could keep up with the class when this happens.

Many teachers believe that cell phones don’t belong in a classroom because there are several disadvantages. An example maybe a student who uses a cell phone in class has no intension in listening or paying attention to the teacher. This student has a short attention span who cares about socializing more than his/her education. Cell phones can be very disruptive; they can invade people’s privacy and can also be used as harassment or bullying. The usage of cell phones is creating a huge problem particularly when they are used in school.

Schools should take matters into their own hands if the phone is not theirs. “If the device is not school-owned and is not being used on school campus, schools should not monitor a student’s online activity. If an issue arises, the student’s parents could manage it”. The quote states that it is not the school's job to discipline the student for something

Phones being allowed in the classroom are tempting for students. Students feel a vibration in their pockets and feel the need to check their phones. Apps for example snapchat will flash the camera light when the student receives a snap from someone.
