In the other hand, others also disagree with allowing cell phones to be used during class.

Also, when someone gets his or her phone taken away, it becomes a big distraction to everyone and wastes class time. Cell phones in class can also lead to cheating.…

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.

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…
First, I believe that cell phone use in class is distractions because it may cause children fail the class and not having a bright future. Most people do not have self-control, especially children. As the author mentions, “students fail is because of distractions in the classroom.” Children take cells will be distracted in classroom; by the end of semester, they will get low grade or fail the class because they do not have enough knowledge. After several of failures, students will put themselves become bad students, so a bad student may not go to college; it directly affects their future. However, if students do not have electronic devices distract them, they will learn more in class, and it will affect them in a positive future.…
First, teachers find cell phone extremely distracting and disrespectful. Honestly, teachers do not oppose texting in class because they are mean, or don’t want students to socialize, but rather for students benefit. In fact, they are trying to prepare us for our future and the lives we will go on to live after high school. But with cell phones, we are depriving ourselves of education! With our cell phones going off in class, to our classmates getting caught playing Angry Birds, cell phones are awfully disturbing to have in class. Teachers only want to prepare…
Cell phones may be a very useful tool in school because they contain multiple uses including a camera, a messaging system, a calculator, and even a web browser on some models. This may sound like a good suggestion to have one in school, but allowing cell phones in school is not a good idea. Many students will abuse their cell phones abilities like texting in class which will distract the student and prevent the student from learning. Therefore, cell phones should not be allowed in school because it will lure the student to use it and it will cause many problems for the student and the teacher.…

Reason 1 Paragraph-Distractions are a teachers worst nightmare, and so phones being added to the classes would be a big distraction. One reason phones should not be added to the class is in the article “Cell Phones in Classrooms? No! Students Need to Pay Attention,” it states they could be used inappropriately. This shows that cell phones can be a distraction because most fifth graders have some type of social media, so how do we know they aren't snapchatting their friends or posting funny photos of their teacher? Another reason is in the article lift the cell phone ban it states…
Primarily, while in class, cell phones are a distraction to students. Punoinoin states, “Parents are notified that their children have violated the school policy on the use of cell phones during school hours.” Violating a school rule can show up on your permanent record and ruin your reputation, e.g., messaging, taking inappropriate pictures, and participating in social media…
First and foremost phones are disruptive. If a student has his phones on him he’s more likely to look at it and cause a problem. In other words phones are bad to have in class.For example Tyrus has his phones out during a test, he will get of track and he won't finish his test. The problem with phones is that they are very distracting.…
I personally am one of the students who a person could say has a “cell phone addiction” I am the one teachers catch texting out the corner of his or her eye. My fingers move quickly across the keyboard of my cell phone during class. For this reason teachers find cell phones distracting. If a student is texting during class they cannot put his or her full, divided attention into what the teacher is saying, there for, what is the point of trying to explain something to someone who is not paying attention. Teachers come to school to educate students because it is their job, and they find it disrespectful if a student isn’t listening.…

First at all, if cell phone could use in the classroom, it would disturb the teacher and students during class. In the class, when the teacher is talking, student should listen attentively. If cell phones should be allowed in the classroom, what would happen? For example, last semester, an English class, while the teacher was talking something in the class and a student’s cell phones rang. At that time, we had stopped to attend to the teacher, and instead, we attended to the student who cell phone rang. Our teacher stopped talking and waited. Following, another student’s cell phone rang, and the student started answer cell phone too. Meanwhile, a student said he want to call phone to his family.…
As reported by a Harvard study, 92% of Harvard students text during class. “Those who texted frequently took lower quality notes, retained less information, and did worse on tests about the material.” And students know that using their phones is dropping their grades. In one survey, 80% of Harvard students admitted that using their cellphone in class decreases their ability to pay attention. Not only does using a phone in class distract the person using it, it also distracts the people next to them. Another study on laptops in a classroom concluded that students near another student who was on a laptop during class scored worse on a test than those who were by themselves. While cell phone screens are smaller, the same thing can very likely happen when applied to cell…
