Persuasive Essay / Cellular Telephone
Cell Phones: Many American youth now have cell phones that they carry with them everywhere .Should cell phones be allowed at school ?Many teachers and students claim that phones are distracting while many parents and students insist that phones are necessary. Write a persuasive essay explaining your position on the issue. Although not everybody would agree, but I think that cell phones should not be allowed to bring to school. I have several reasons for this point of view: first, it will cause a distraction, second, it can be used for cheating and third, it can be used for cyber bullying. To begin with, students should not be allowed to bring cell phones to school therefore it will cause a distraction in class for teachers as well as the students. If a phone rings in a classroom, it grabs everyone’s attention on the phone and not on the teacher neither the lesson. Students are so sill that that they react like they never heard a phone ring before. It becomes a competition for each and every student to find out whose phone it actually was. In particular, a couple days ago during my science class a phone rang from the closet. While we were taking notes on chemistry my teacher asked a question to one of the student about the states of matter. However, he was speechless. He had nothing to say but looking through the spaces. He was too busy figuring out whose phone was ringing that took his concentration away from the lesson. He was as curios as a monkey. By that the teacher loses his/her concentration from what they were teaching and the students loses their attention from the lesson. This was my first explanation on why students should not be allowed
