I remember a classmate when I was in high school because he never talked to anybody. He spent most of his time on his cell phone or using his tablet, and he did not do well in school. He was different than my other classmates and I believe that he never felt comfortable in the classroom. Everybody knows that cell phones have changed peoples’ life dramatically. Cell phones are one of the most revolutionary advances in the last decades because they make things simpler and easier but cell phones have a strong impact on teenagers. Teenagers are in one of the most important phase in their lives because they are exploring the world and developing their capacities. I believe that cell phones have more negative than positives effects on teenagers for many reasons.
It can be hard for people to bring a computer with them wherever they go. People most likely can't plug a computer in their car. If a student brings their macbook/computer to school, where would they leave it? A computer can fit in your locker, but there is a big chance it will fall out. In the hallway, a student can get bumped into and drop their computer. Phones are more portable for ease of use in the classroom. This evidence shows that students can be irresponsible at times, using a phone in school can teach a student responsibility. Using a phone is lighter than a laptop and smaller. Nicholas Provenzano runs the blog “ The Nerdy Teacher”. Nicholas said,” The extreme just assumes that if kids are using their phone to write papers that everything will be returned in text speak and emojis.” This evidence shows that students can do other things than know how to text, because students have phone in schools, it can benefit them in many ways. When someone uses their phone, it is usually to get in touch with someone else for a reason. Cell phones in school can have a good impact on
Furthermore, there are many upsides that technology brings upon students by presenting new ways of learning where technology is being used in the classroom.

Having a cell phone available in class may decrease your learning time by checking your phone, playing games or streaming music at inappropriate times. Kids that do these things, will probably lose out on a superior education.

Did you ever wonder why middle school students should have cellular phones? This is a question which many people have strong opinions on. There are three significant reasons why a middle school student should own one. Cell phones can be distractions out of hundreds. But there some alternatives to that. Middle School Students Should be Permitted to Own A Cell Phone because it encourages responsibility, it can be used for emergency, and by setting a contract with rules accompanied by parents before using it can teach to them to be more mature.
The chief argument against cell phone usage in school is that they are a disruption. I would agree with the fact that people who have those disgustingly loud rap music-blaring ring tones can be quite annoying, but how often do you actually HEAR somebody's cell phone go off in class?
My own personal opinion is that if a student is old enough to have a cell phone, they should be old enough to make the decision as to whether they choose to sit in class on their cell phone and not learn, or make the decision to put away their cell phone and pay attention in class. Yes, the teacher may strongly feel that the student is not soaking in the class material that is being taught. That therefore is not the teachers responsibility. I feel a teacher should most definitely, have the authorization to confiscate a cell phone from a student if they genuinely feel it is being a disturbance to those students around who are in fact trying to work.
Today’s cell phone is the front line technology at our fingertips. Keeping this in mind the use of cell phones have become an affair when it comes to allowing teens to use them in educational environments, such as schools. One part of society supports the use of cell phones while the other part of society disapproves the use of cell phones. I personally believe that cell phones should not only be allowed in school, but cell phones should be mandatory just like a textbook. Cell phones do not only allow students to stay united with friends and family, but cell phones are also a magnificent learning system, and they boost the liable use of technology.
Cell phones are small and portable yet provide so much to its user with being able to look up anything to calling your parents in case of an emergency or if you need to give them a heads up on something. With the way things are today people need to focus on incorporating cell phones into daily life and finding ways to make them more suitable in a classroom environment. Teachers are already doing this though with using apps that work with the whole class and can track data and usage of a student. It cannot be debated that cell phones are beneficial in school as before cell phones you would have to go to your local library and hopefully find what you are looking for. Cell phones belong in a school environment as they can be helpful and it 's a parent 's right to be able to get ahold of their

A lot of students see cell phones as a useful device, but many see them as a distraction during class. Throughout this essay, you'll read about the pros and cons regarding cell phone usage.

Picture this, there has been a school lockdown, the suspect cut the landlines so no one could call the police for a rescue. However, the suspect was captured by the police much faster than he imagined. The last scene wouldn’t have happened if it was one decade ago, because cell phones were not popular in schools then. When it comes to cell phones, some people think they should not be permitted in schools, and other people think they should be permitted in schools. I agree with the latter opinion for the following reasons: Cell phones are an efficient way to communicate when emergencies occur in school; cell phones can be a great tool for learning during school hours; and the current prohibitive rules on cell phones are merely fruitless efforts. Cell phones should be permitted in schools, because they could be very beneficial and practical in schools.
I take the position that cell phones should not be allowed in schools. I think this because cell phones are not always safe in schools which means kids can get hurt. Another reason I think this is they can be a distraction. If students are distracted it might hurt their grades, which might make it harder to get into the college they want. Also, they can be used to cheat.
Can you see yourself without a cell phone today? This world has become so technologically dependent that it is hard for anyone to not use a cell phone, a computer, or some sort of device at least once during the day. Since technology has come so far, better education should be possible. Cell phones are a way of communication and can make people feel safe, so it is hard to believe that most schools ban them. It is time for schools to see that technology is the future and it is growing rapidly, along with educational and safety features.
Ever since incidents such as 9/11 and Columbine, high schools have started implementing new rules regarding cellphones. Cellphones regard the attention of building managers, teachers, parents, and students. Although teachers see them as a distraction and a way to cheat, they can be quite helpful to students. School districts should permit students to use cellular devices in school for purposes of improving their education and providing themselves a sense of security.
