Mobile Phone and Proper Cellphone
Did you know that some students cannot live without their cellular device, but some students cannot even bring their cellphone to school? Many people would agree that students should not have a cellphone in the classroom. This can led to so many problems because many students can have their cellphones stolen, lost, or taken by a teacher because many do not allow cell phones to be used in their classrooms. Cellphones are very distracting to the classroom, they can cause problems with theft or various issues dealing with bullying could arise. Today, cellphones can be quite a distraction in a students’ education. Education is very important for everybody from grades K-12. If cellphones get in the way of education, students will not have an understanding of what is needed in the real world. Their inability to focus and pay attention in class because of cellphone use has been quite a problem in the last few years. Teachers, administrators and school systems have been trying to find a solution, but no solution for proper cellphone use in the classroom has been given. Furthermore, cellular devices cause major issues between students due to cellphones getting stolen from each other. When teens have physical education they either have to leave their cellphone in their locker unlocked or put it on the blenchers, which is out in the open where any student can steal it. Not only will this cause a student to get mad, pitch a fit, or cry because they lost their cell phone, but it is a very expensive loss as well. This can also lead to time away from the classroom in order to report it missing or stolen, even file a police report. Another factor, cellphones can be used as a bullying source because some teens today are mean, rude, obnoxious, and disrespectful. Students have begun to use cellphones as a tool to foster these bad habits. They may send text messages about another student in a rude manner, then the other student will find out about it and get mad. When

    After reviewing Sheyenne's cell phone policy and researching the benefits and drawbacks of cell phones, I urge you to revise the cell phone policy, and allow more cell phone use in the school. Cell phones are permitted in certain parts of the school, but the technology needs to be integrated into the classrooms. With this incorporation of technology in the classroom it can provide more depth in the lesson, and collaboration among students.

    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.
