Electronics play an important role in our society. “Of the 7 billion people on the planet, 6 billion have access to cell phones” (Wang). More than thousands of these cell phones belong to students in grades K-12. A major topic of debate is: should cell phones be allowed in schools? “Twenty-four percent of schools have banned mobile devices altogether and sixty-two percent allow them on school grounds, but not in the classroom” (Raths). Cell phones should not be allowed in school, as children focus more on the phone than on their homework, this will create more drama and encourage cheating. Cell phones should not be allowed in schools because children are always wondering what their friends are doing and what they are up to. that happens outside of school. If they have access to their phone all day, they will stay glued to it. Phones are more entertaining than a professor lecturing in front of the class. Most students begin to pass out or fall asleep when a teacher begins a lesson. It is always easier to focus on something when it interests us. For example, it's much easier to remember a song than a study guide. Twitter, where kids post what's going on, is more interesting than algebra or biology. Social media is a watering hole in safari. Everyone wants to be present during the entire activity. Having access to a mobile device all day will create more drama between students and teachers. Teachers will be even more frustrated because students won't pay attention to what they are saying. Then the teachers will start complaining more and try to turn the phones into desks and complain to principle. This would likely cause more stress for the principle. Additionally, it would also cause drama between students because they would be in the middle of a sheet of paper......catching up with their friends and being able to do projects. Texting is to a high school student like cooking is to a chef. Every time you go there you always see a group of kids with at least one on their phone, if not more. Cell phones should not be allowed in school, as children focus more on the phone than on school work, this will create more drama and encourage cheating. “No expert bullying advice on school bullying when it comes to cyberbullying.” Nobullying.com, April 28, 2013.
