School Phones In School

Schools should require cell phones to be turned off and putting away during class, so students would focus more on assignments and information provided by the instructor.

Although phones may be used to help students with work, North Eugene high school should ban phones because how much of a distraction they can be in a classroom. Schools that have banned phone at school, 82% of students have a phone on at school.(Document #3) If North Eugene at least has a policy with not having students bring the phones in class, that will help with test scores and participation in class. “Students with laptops had a lower test result than those without. The reason? They were not paying attention to their teachers. We should expect the same thing from cell phones.” (Document #6) When using technology at school it may help but there also needs to be an extent to where it needs to stop.

The use of cellphones in school has brought up debates all over the world. While some believe they are an advantage, others believe that they are a hindrance to the learning process. Despite the fact that smartphones can be used for important school activity such as research and time- management, they are also one of the main sources of classroom distractions. As a current student, I can attest to the fact that students often play games or text friends instead of listening to what is being taught. Students often argue that they need their phones to listen to music because it helps them focus. This has been vigorously studied and the results vary, but are not fully supportive. Not only have students made arguments as why they should be allowed to use their phones in school, but parents have as well. Most parents are in support of the having phones in school because they want to always have a way to contact their child. One thing parents do not realize is the ways their children are misusing their phone. Teachers should not have to fight the distraction caused by cell phones in the classroom. The use of smartphones in school causes too many distraction and there is a multitude of ways this privilege can be misused.

Cell phones are distracting in school and disrupt learning. Students should always be giving their teacher their undivided attention. Cell phones in school create problems and they affect students’ grades. Although some may claim these reasons to be true, they are undeniably wrong. The proponents of cell phones should not be allowed in school argue, “We know for a fact that the use of cell phones on school property around the country has led to a number of problems around safety.” This is wrong because cell phone use on school grounds is only beneficial to individuals on and off school property. Cell phones do not necessarily prevent problems, but they do help in times of emergencies. They promote safety in situations such as school shootings or hostage situations. The proponents of cell phones should not be allowed in school also argue “Student’s whose minds wander during a lecture or discussion may find the temptation of texting instead of listening hard to resist.” While this is true, it is up to the student to pay attention. However, texting instead of listening is the same as doodling and not listening, or playing on a school issued laptop even after being told to put it away. It is up to the student to restrain from texting in class. The more schools put an emphasis on no phones in school the more

Have you ever heard of the gruesome Columbine High School massacre? This incident occurred on April 20th 1999 and involved two students embarking on a shooting rampage, killing twelve students, a teacher and wounding twenty three others. Unfortunately during this incident, the school 's most easily accessible phone was on the complete other side of the school in the library. Perhaps some of these lives could have been saved if the students in this class had cell phones that they could 've used to contact the authorities more quickly. The issue we are addressing today is the usage of cellular devices in educational facilities. Both Cameron and myself believe that cell phone usage is of extreme convenience, and has academically beneficial

Many students have used their cell phones to share answers to tests and quizzes, and to report inaccurate and offensive information about other students and their school. Cell phones can be distractions in the school environment, evading classroom time and reducing student’s academic success.

The tone of the author to me is extremely solemn. My reason for this is because the author really wants to get his point across. The subject of bringing cell phones to school is very serious. The author really disagrees that kids are allowed to take their cellphones to school. He gives us many supporting details and a lot of supporting evidence in order to get his argument to the public! Bringing cellphones to school is a negative effect towards learning says the author. He’s saying that if you do not bring your cellphones to school, the level of intelligence would increase juridically. Basically the author wants to put this issue to an end,

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.

Many students will play on their phones and not pay attention to the teacher and the lesson that the teacher is giving. Students are sent to school to learn and by playing with cell phones during classes students are not learning anything that will help them with a career or their futures. Students can also text friends in other classrooms and not have their minds in the classroom that they are in. Students may eventually stop coming to school because they can just stay home and use their cell phones and do other things.

First off, cell phones in school can be used as a learning tool. Many teachers think phones in class can be a disruption and ban use of phones.Teachers take advantage of teens who refuse to turn off their phone and put it away. Mia Dalta, a student from Mason High School says “ using technology in everyday life is not that new to us because we grew up using technology.” I believe she is correct to say this. We are all comfortable using cell phones because that is all most teens know is “technology”. The teachers are making class more interactive by using phones as clickers to answer questions, provide feedback on students progress,and also to collaborate on group projects and capture teacher's notes. This can be useful for teachers and students. While a student is working in a group the teacher can comment and the student can then work and be more efficient. I observed that when phones are out in class, most students are successful and more efficient. The best part is all the information we could ever need to be successful

Mobile telephone being used to simply share or exchange information and remain in touch with friends and family, they are becoming a huge disturbance and a serious argument in schools and work environments. If we could prohibit cell phones in schools over the United States, it would authorize students to concentrate on without distractions, increase their grades, and could possibly lower health risks. Students are going to persistently use their cell phones for their own personal communications via social media when they should be paying attention to what is going on in their classes. Prohibit the usage of cell phones in schools would disconnect that interruption. A review conducted by 2004 Teens and Parents Project showed that at least 45% of teens had cell phones.

To start, cell phone usage in a learning atmosphere is a popular distraction to the modern student. In today’s society, students are more likely to remember the information sent via text message rather than focusing on classroom studies. It appears that the age a child receives their first cell phone is becoming younger and younger. Technology has taken over children by making their social life a higher priority than their education. The popular excuse of needing cell phones in school for safety reasons is a complete fallacy. Although some people may feel this way, it does not mean that all students should have to have access to their phone for safety, especially with enough supervisors or staff around. Regulating cell phone use in school settings is something that should be considered by all.

A new issue that schools today have to deal with is cell pho- hold up a second I just got a free gift in candy crush maybe I got enough coins to upgrade my candys. Oh hold up jonah's calling me, hahaha the meme he just tagged me in is hilarious, I will send you a link later. so where was I, ah yes Cell Phones in public schools are more of a distraction than a benefit, help promote illegal behavior, and are severely unneeded. When on the street one can observe today's youth with their faces stuffed in their phones, not paying attention to their surroundings at all. Science has actually proven that this very unhealthy and will lead to many different medical problems and costly procedures later in life. Not only the danger to your health, it is also very impolite and no way to act, and could actually provide an immediate danger because of the lack of vigilance to one's surroundings. the school system should not promote such behaviors and should teach children the correct and polite way to act in the real world. For in public schools we are preparing the children for the real world, and we need to instill valuable life lessons and morals.

Students being on their cellphones is a very distracting thing. They distract you from everyone and everything around you. You become unaware of anything happening around you or even someone talking to you. Linda Matchan said in the Boston globe that “the texting tweeting and snapchatting during class are “an incredible distraction, and makes it much more difficult to teach.” (Boston Globe). All the new technology and apps on the phones can be very addicting and hard to put down and pay attention to the teacher. From the perspective of the teacher it makes it very hard to teach the students when their mind is tuned into their cellphone rather than listening and ready to learn, and it’s very disrespectful to the teacher when you don’t bother to put your phone down to listen for a little bit of class time of what they worked on for maybe hours. Students trying to learn in the classroom can get easily distracted by various things. Cellphones being one of the main causes of the distractions. It’s very easy for a student to pick up their phone
