No Phone Rules In Middle School
With the dawn of a new school year, a new rule has been released to the middle schoolers of DJDS. The rule involves their phones being in their locker at all times, except the beginning and end of school. Most middle schoolers believe that the NPR (No Phone Rule) has been a devastation because they believe that there were no problems when they could use their phones. I questioned a few students and a teacher about what they thought of the NPR. Unsurprisingly, both the students had something similar to say. One claimed that he was being, “Stripped of a freedom because of other people's actions.” The other explained, “There were no problems when I was allowed to use my phone.” From a teacher’s point of view, he stated, “Middle school students

    Bristol School Case Study

    As stated in Tinker v. Des Moines, “...[i]t could not be justified by a showing that the students’ activities would materially and substantially disrupt the work and discipline of the school”(Tinker v. Des Moines School District). This case justifies how important it is that the court repeatedly emphasizes the need to guarantee the absolute authority of the States and of the school officials, persistent with fundamental constitutional safeguards, to determine and control the conduct in the schools. Additionally, as expressed in the Bristol Student Handbook, “Access to the School District’s Technology is provided as a privilege and as an educational tool. In order to continue enjoying access to the Technology, each student must take responsibility for appropriate and lawful use of this privilege. Students are responsible for their behavior with the Technology just as they are in a classroom, school hallway or other School District property” (Upper Arlington Schools Students’ Handbook…

    Should Miriam Morgenstern T Students Use Cell Phones In School?

    The second reason that students shouldn't be allowed to use cell phones in school for education is for the sake of the teachers, a teacher should not have to fight for the attention of his or her students due to technology. After twenty years of teaching history and ESL for Lowell High School, Miriam Morgenstern is quitting her job for multiple reasons. One of Morgenstern’s reasons for quitting is her students and their cell phones, she explains her frustration, “The texting, tweeting, and snapchatting during class time are ‘an incredible distraction, and makes it much more difficult to teach,’ she said. ‘It’s pretty hard to compete with a very funny YouTube video.’” It is unacceptable that students are using their phones while the teacher…

    Sheyenne's Cell Phone Policy

    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. Some teachers may see the use of cell phones in the classroom as disrespectful. They perceive this as disrespectful, for they took time to prepare the lesson, and the student is not paying attention. In actuality the student is not disturbing others, and if they decide to not pay attention,…

    Should Cell Phones Be Allowed In School

    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…

    Should cell phones be allowed in school rough draft

    In school, there is always that one annoying rule, no phones allowed in class! Students are able to take risks by bringing their phones to school. “65% of cell-owning teens at schools that completely ban phones bring their phones to school every day”(Boyd) Is that really the responsibility of the teacher to be telling you to put your phone away? If you miss something its not on the teacher. You can’t ask your teacher later because again, it’s not the teacher’s fault. I know teachers get paid to teach but the student is also required to put effort into his/her education. They are your grades and your future so it should be your decision to use your phone in class.…

    Should Cell Phones Be Allowed In Piedmont High School?

    Should cell phones be allowed in Piedmont High School? Although there should be regulations to this allowance, I believe they should be allowed because cell phones have many uses that may prove to be helpful to students. For example, my laptop crashed recently while I was in school. The only way I could access my assignments and reminders was through my cell phone. Some may argue that cell phones are only a distraction. A lot of students at Piedmont High School play on their phones during lessons. This causes the teacher to stop class to tell the student to put their phone away. At the same time, it is the students fault if they miss important information due to them using their cell phone. Allowing cell phones in class will tech responsibility by giving them a choice of when to use it.…

    Why We Shouldn T Cell Phones Be Aloud In School

    "The ban, which was implemented by the Bloomberg administration, went into effect in 2006, but Mayor Bill De Blasio championed the policy change, saying that he thought it was important for parents to be able to easily contact their kids." (Kiema) Some teachers think it would be nice if cell phones weren't allowed in school but since they are they should use them to their advantage. As soon as the new policy is in place starting in March, individual schools in New York City will be able to establish their own policies concerning cell phone use in the classroom, leaving many teachers to determine how they will react to the phones in hallways and classrooms. Students should be aloud to have their phones because it is also a way for parents to contact their kids during school hours or vice versa. It should also be aloud if the students have practice and then it got cancelled so they would have to call their parents and tell them about the change in plans. Truth is that some schools are open to the cell phone idea and some aren't.…
