Students Should Be Allowed to Bring Their Mobile Phones to School.
I do agree that students should be allowed to bring their mobile phones to school. Here are a lit of reasons:

#1 ~ The pay phone costs 50cents now, and a cell phone costs 10cents on a plan or 25cents without a plan. So you save money using your own phone.

#2 ~ In case of an emergency you can call for help. You don't have to run around looking for a phone because it's right there in your pocket.

#3 ~ If there is a black out you can only use mobile phones. All the other phones die without the power.

#4 ~ Students need privacy when they are talking on the phone. They don't need office secretaries and other waiting students ease dropping on their conversation.

#5 ~ Students can only use the school phone to phone home. Not to make personal phone calls. Which brings us back to reason #1

#6 ~ Students shouldn't have to get harassed by other impatient students waiting to use the phone.

#7 ~ If a student were to get injured, their mobile phone can be used to identify them and even to access their home or doctors phone number and address.

#8 ~ Students should be allowed to bring mobile phones because of the convenience of having one. It makes their already complicated life that much easier.

#9 ~ If a student is being bullied, trapped/locked somewhere or in something, sexually harassed or trying to avoid possible confrontation with a dangerous person. They can call the schools main office or the police depending on the severity for help.

#10 ~ A mobile phone is not only used for a communications device, its also used for... Storing/Accessing contact information, organizing with it's electronic agenda, taking everlasting photos or videos filled with wonderful memories, playing music when you need that special break, playing games when you need to kill some extra time, going online and surfing the web or doing research, and much more.

MOST OF ALL THEY SHOULD HAVE IT BECAUSE IT'S CHEAP, CONVENIENT AND CAN BE USED IN EMERGENCY

    Phones should be aloud to be used in free time during class time. When a student is done with an assignment, they should be allowed to have their phone out because it is a silent way for the students to entertain themselves. The cell phone can also be a good and smart way to interact with the teacher. This means instead of wasting paper for our warm-ups, essays, or any other class work that would be needed to turn in, we can simply send them to the teacher and can be a…

    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,…

    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.…

    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.…

    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.…

    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…

    Although mobile phones are a great tool for many students around the world, they can be a bad thing to students. For example, you can get side tracked by playing a game, they could watch videos on websites such as YouTube, and it can actually hurt students. On a student's mobile phone, they can easily get distracted with a notification from a game or a text message from a friend. One second they were working on their essay, now they are in a group chat making jokes with their friends or playing a game they had recently…
