There is more than one side to the debate about cell phone availability during school. One claim is that students should be allowed to have their phones on them and use their cell phones during appropriate times. In the article, the authors provide details about how there are numerous reasons why cell phones should be allowed during school. Students should be allowed access to cell phones, because if they are responsible enough to be going off to college in a year or so, they should be responsible enough to have a cell phone on them and use it wisely (George and Cook). Another reason why cell phones should be allowed in school is because otherwise it can create a divide between the students and the teachers. Students are so invested in their phones, so if a teacher…
I believe that students should be allowed to have their phones available to them during school hours. The administrators of our school have shunned the use of cell phones at all time during school hours. We can’t even have them within reach. If they’re not in our lockers or cars then you run the risk of it being confiscated. I believe that if administrators allow phone use in schools then grades will become much better. Some schools in Texas, including my old school, allowed phones to be used regulary. Students had much better grades than in Jenks where phone use is prohibited.…

There are no pros for cellular phone use in school. While cell phones are a convenience, however they don't belong in the school with our students. Students will use them in the class regardless of the rules. It will be a disruptive convenience benefiting only the students to talk to anyone. They will use it to text their friends or to play games. If there is a true emergency the parent only needs to call the school. Cell phones in the school will be a total disruption, they will be a good cheating…

Cell phones are everywhere! Almost everyone has one. Why should they not be allowed to be used for school use and learning? Although cell phones can be a major distraction to many students while working on school work, they can also come in handy in all sorts of ways. Many schools are against phones and are taking them away from students for having them out, but I believe that they should be allowed in schools. Almost all schools have to buy laptops for students to be able to research things. This wastes the money that they could be using to make their school better and more beautiful for the kids. Cell phones in schools could also help some students learn in many ways like using the dictionary. People have many ways that they can learn in and every mind is different. Some students like to be able to check their facts and record the lesson they learned to help them learn. Cell phones in school also help musical learners focus and the internet has many of learning songs for all ages.…
