Why We Shouldn T Cell Phones Be Used In Schools

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. Phone are not going to help with our

With the statements given by my evidence, it is true that phones are useful and well used tools when students and teachers have the proper websites and apps to go to for specific things. This is good because the technology is so easy to use and is good at keeping track of things you need to do or have already done such as tests and/or quizzes.

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

Tap Tap, Tap. Students are constantly using cellphones in class when they should be paying attention to important materials in class. Some schools have banned cell phones. Some schools are taking advantage of cell phones and trying to them to open new possibilities for new learning experience. A cell phone is a piece of technology that can have a positive and negative effect. For example you can use it find out what you need to study. It depends on the user. Cell phones can also be used to cheat and then you wouldn’t be learning anything, except how to cheat. Do you really think that we should allow these with children that don’t know how to use them correctly? I wouldn’t. Although cell phones can open new opportunities to learning, we can not assume that students will use them for academic reasons. Therefore, cell phones are not the best thing to have in school, they shouldn't be allowed in school to ensure a good environment for the future generations of mankind. The negative effects from cell phones can distract kids from the subject they are learning in school, reduce the amount of respect students show teachers, and make schools less empathetic. The only thing that schools will get from allowing cellphones in class is nothing but trouble.

Akers states that students use cell phones to make fun of another or to harass others. Another piece of evidence is from the same article that states a problem is "Secretly taking inappropriate photographs of other students and disturbing them". This information proves how phones shouldn't be allowed because they can be used to make others unwanted, embarrassed, or unsafe within schools. On to the next topic. A second reason why cell phones shouldn't be allowed is because. Students need to understand the rules of having a cell phone in class how they don't need them all the time. Here's a quote from the article "As Schools Lift Bans on Cell Phones, Educators Weigh Pros and Cons" by Kinjo Kiema. ""Don't feel as if because students have the devices they have to be using them all the time," she explains. "They just really need to be careful and thoughtful and take baby steps, and develop a nice protocol and rules and structures for how students physically handle the device in the classroom." The quote explains how students shouldn't always be on there phone to get answer and how they should understand the rules of the classroom about cellphones . A second quote is

The students would not have to make time to go to the computer lab to use a computer, they could instantly research at their desk (Funding , 2014). For students to use a cell phone in the classroom, they would have to be greatly monitored to keep them focused on research, not playing games, texting, or browsing social media. If the students are not monitored when using a cell phone in class, their learning process is hindered greatly. Statistics show that seventy-three percent of teachers admitted that they or their students use cell phones in the classroom (Bautista, 2013). Cell phones can be a distraction for teachers as well as students, if teachers are too wrapped up in their social networking profiles and not concerned with the students sitting before them, they are failing to do their job

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.

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.

Cell phones can be such a big distraction that it can take away from kids education.

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

You’re not truly getting an education if you’re absorbed in your phone instead of your teacher. Students should not be allowed to have their phones on school grounds. Cell phones and other electronic devices are huge distraction. Students don’t know how to handle them responsibly and using them could lead to cyber-bullying.

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.

The debate on whether schools should allow cell phones has been around since cell phones were introduced to the public. This debate has two strongly supported point of views. The nay-sayers agree that cell phones are a big distraction to students and prevent them from doing work. For this reason, some schools have a no cell phone policy. However, people who agree to having cell phones in the classroom have an even stronger point of view. They believe that cellphones help students be more productive, and even stay safe. Those two reasons alone put having cell phones in the classroom above not having them. Cell phones should be allowed in classrooms because they help with the learning environment, provide easy access to the internet, and can be used as a way of communication or identification in case of an emergency.

Cell phones and technology in general has advanced a lot over the last ten years. Allowing students to be able to take their phones or devices wherever they want in today’s society. Thus bringing forward the issue of cell phone distraction in the classroom.

Over the past few years the popularity of cell phones among teenagers has grown and this raises the question for whether or not cell phones should be allowed in classrooms.

In today’s society cell phones aren’t only used make phone calls and send text messages, instead cell phones are used for GPS, social media, cameras, Internet, organization, and much more. Cell phones are around us all the time, especially teenagers and there have been several debates of whether or not cell phones should or should not be allowed in classrooms. Cell phones allow students to become organized and productive and even help parents feel a sense of safety. Cell phones not only make learning in classrooms faster and easier but make learning fun and engaging for students.
