School Phones In School

Cell phones are amazing things that allow us to so many great things, but are causing us to loose sight to what really matters? Cell phones should not be allowed to be out during school hours but should not be completely banned from the school campus. They are used as status symbols, a way to measure self worth and make us lose touch with reality.

What, you think using cellphones at school is a good idea. Now days cell phones have so many used apps and while student's are at school they are attempting to look on their phones. Everywhere you go in this present time all you see is toddlers on up to adults with phones because they are so addicted to technology. People would rater buy new phones that the company comes out with instead of buying things that they need because they think they can survive with a cell phone. Cell phones are very helpful but so many people have took advantage of that and have become so addicted to them. Now days in this particular time everything is at everyone's fingertips and they get what they want when they want it. When they ask someone for something they want or need that they can't get on a cell phone, they expect to get it right at that second that they ask for it. Using cell phones at school is a bad idea. School's should not allow student's to use their cell phones at school.

“Cell phones are owned by 91% of American adults, and now they’re becoming a disruption” (Ballaro et al). Cell phones are now trying to get their way around schools. There is some controversy between school officials and children about bringing their phone to school or not. Parents are also a part of the debate. School officials are even becoming a little peevish when students have them out during class. No one has ever thought that this would have become a big issue with schools around the world. Schools have mandated a ban for no cell phones. Using cell phones now has brought on many more disadvantages than advantages. It’s superfluous that children should have cell phones in school. Children can take pictures when they’re not supposed to, can distract kids while they’re learning or from learning, and can make the school unsafe for everyone when there is an emergency while using cell phones in school.

Nowadays most of students have cell phones as a way to communicate with others.but sometimes they can get distracted by these devices in class. 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.

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

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.

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

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,

Lastly, student cell phones detract from the overall learning environment. With all of the disruptions and distractions, so much time would be taken away from the classroom that no sufficient time would be spent actually learning, transforming educators into babysitters and causing the students to be under prepared to competing in

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.

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.

Students should be permitted limited use of mobile phone while attending their schools. Not all students use their mobile or cellular phones while at school; many do. Not all students who use their cell phone in school are using them during class. Students and educational staff come down very hard on students for using cell phones during class session, in many cases, justifiably so. Yet, there are instances when mobile phone use during school is not a distraction or threat to the students' attention and education.

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

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.
