Why We Should Not Be Able To Have Phones In School

Phones are a distraction in class. Students have a difficult time separating themselves from their phones. The constant need to check statuses and stay connected have teachers struggling to teach. Miriam Morgenstern, a teacher at Lowell High School is ending her career as a teacher because she claims they are “an incredible distraction, and make it much more difficult to teach.” She went on to state that “it’s pretty hard to compete with a very funny YouTube video.” Students and teachers are constantly surrounded by distractions that take the focus off of learning and preparing for their careers.

It has became very common for kids to have phones. There are young kids that rely on having a phone around to have fun. Teenagers never put their phones down. Students should not be allowed to have phones in elementary and high school.

Should teachers let students have their phone in class? Many don't, currently most teachers do not let students use their devices during class time. In addition Cell Phones have become increasingly popular. According to the Huffington post “Millions more will join the ranks of smartphone users in the years ahead, as the remainder of the 92 percent of American adults who own cell phones upgrade their devices” this article illustrates that many people own cell phones and many more will soon. And most teachers view them as a distraction to the learning environment. However that is incorrect, Cell phones should be allowed in class because they are educational, can be used as tools, and in that could improve their learning. The teachers should let students use their cellphones during class because they can use it for a resource, an emergency, and for overall happiness.

Cell phones should be allowed in the classroom because they provide access to research and educational uses to students. Many students have grown up with

Having phones as technology in school could help or hinder students education. Some of the reasons phones should be used during class is because it helps with them study, while people say why phones shouldn’t be used is because they may or may not educate them and students spend their being on phones instead of working. Think about the amount of time you send and receive those 200 texts a day and think about the time you can be studying rather than

I think that schools should not let students use technology. Technology should not be aloud, because students might get on something that had nothing to do with school. They will text other people, like their friends and not pay attention to teachers during class.

Phones can be a distraction in class for social media reasons but phones can also help with any school references. Phones should be allowed in schools / classes

One of the most important rules given to the students at school may be causing problems for the students and the teachers: Cell Phones. Students are constantly getting in trouble in school for using their phones during class which has stopped schools from authorizing their students to have their phones while at school. But this rule has created problems for students and teachers. Although cell phones in school can be a distraction from learning, students should be allowed to have their cell phones in school because it gives them easy access to contact their parents, it helps students to be happy and want to be at school and it helps students to become familiar with electronics.

I think that schools should allow students to have cell phone in school. I think that, because of the fact if something bad was to happen we could call our parents. If something bad was to happen we would be able to use of phone in case of emergency. Some people think we shouldn’t have phones in school because they think they are a distraction to us, from doing our work properly. I honestly think that if phones where allowed in school we could use them for school work also. Not just for communicating with people. Phones could be a good cause in school, if someone got hurt and no one was around, you would be able to call an ambulance. “They can tend to lower students grades, cause impulsive behavior, and even attitude problems”. But however

Every one that I know owns a cell phone. In fact, cell phones are becoming more popular than land lines. Not to mention that I had to Google what a phone booth actually was. Besides, cell phone are used for far more things other than talking. I feel that cell phones usage should be allowed in schools. Today’s cell phones not only provide high tech communication but they also provide mathematical and allow for education research when needed.

No, students should not have cell phones during class it disturb students, can't concentrate on work, and student don't do their work. They don't think about their work at all. They wouldn't even think about their work. To begin, the cellphone would disturb the student by going off in class. Their face would be in their phone. They always worry about their devices but, not their work. Student care about their phone they think they will pass with out no grades. In addition, the cellphone would not let them concentrate on work. They will be on their phone. They don't about anything but, their phone. They would be texting and on

One reason I think this is because if all students had phones it could teach them responsibility. It could teach them responsibility by having self control. Also it could teach them to follow rules and be cautioned by the orders of their teachers. Another example is that it could teach them to download valuable apps that are not inappropriate or games. When there is ever a test students will be able to have a charging station in class and there phones will be put on airplane mode to make sure there is

In addition, it could teach responsibility. Like for example students know their not suppose to use them to play angry birds or listen to music on them while being at school. Phones and tablets should be used

Some people will say cellphones benefits students in school. “Texting might be used to quietly share information, ask and answer questions, indicate next step and even communicate with the teacher without audibly disrupting the work of the other groups.” (article 2). They would be able to communicate with each other but they could be using it for inappropriate reasons. “ they would even argue “ have a use in preparation for presentation” (article 2). They would be able to use inappropriate photos or even messages. Lastly “some phones are able to access online dictionaries and other resources.” (article 2) This is actually a good thing

Many places in society are setting policies on digital device. The principal at my school has also set policies on banning cell phones in school. Students should not be permitted to use cell phones in school. Using cell phones during school allows students to cheat. Students will be more distracted by cell phones and pay less attention to the teacher and to the lesson. Students have a higher chance of getting in trouble if they use cell phones in school rather than if they are not allowed to use digital devices in school.
