During the school day, students need to be focused on classroom instruction without the distractions of cell phones. There should be NO tcell phones in the schools. While cell phones are very convenient and a common part of everyday life, cell phones, for the most part, are a distraction everywhere. One of the best ways we can protect the privacy of every student is to ban cell phones from school during the school day. Have you ever been on a bus or plane and somebody is carrying on a loud personal conversation? At a school, the distraction may be even greater than in a public place. For many teachers one of the biggest concerns about including cell phones in schools is that they will be used inappropriately.
Most school administrations regard cell phone use as disruptive and distracting, and have implemented policies that prohibits using them on school grounds. Cell phones are a disruption in school. Text messaging can be used to cheat on tests. Students who are text messaging are not able to give full attention to the lesson. If a student cell phone rings in class, it totally disrupts the class for a considerable period of time. Many cell phones are also camera phones. Camera phones present a of invasion of privacy in the schools . Students will text each other all the time during class, and there are times when the teachers wont even notice! Cell phones are very distracting. Are we now slaves to our technology? I still remember the dent will be found in his/her respective classroom. If the student needs to call home they only need to go to the main office or guidance to contact a parent or guardian. Most calls home are not for emergencies, they are for mere simple communication that do not need to be done during school. Not only allowing thpre-phone-cell days. It must have been a miracle that I made it through that time without the need of a cell phone. The majority of the calls, if not all, will be used in idle chatter. Their current uses are for distraction, social interaction, and lewd photography. And let's not ignore the parents who would call students DURING CLASS to talk about non-emergency issues. If it is truly an emergency call the school main number and have the child brought to the office. Distractions such as cell phones don't belong in school. There is no need for cell phones in the schools, just as there was no need for them in the past. In the case of a true emergency, schools have in place systems that protect the children and notify the parents. It is the parents who are entitled to a cell phone . As a result they will always be available at a moment notice. Cell phones in school are an unnecessary distraction that take time away from teachers and can be a source in cheating. Text messaging is an epidemic. I'm sorry to tell you this, but if you think students will not be texting each other while a teacher is teaching, you're dead wrong. Whether parents feel it is necessary to have cell phones in the schools or not, it is still a distraction to their children's education. It is a disservice to our children to allow cell phones during in the schools. Cell phones have become a huge problem. Kids text during class, leading to cheating, or coordination of other "bad" activities. |
