How do you fell about cell phones in school? My opinion on this subject matter is no cell phones should be allowed to be used at school. I feel there is no reason they are needed. You are at school to learn and not to be doing what children do on their phones. You only go to school for eight hours a day. There is 24 hours in a day. eight hours without your cell phone is defiantly not going to kill you. Cell phones can be very pricey and could get stolen or even broken.

Students are becoming more unsocial since the technology of cell phones came around and texting. ( "Cell Phones Should Not Be Allowed In School.", "5 Reasons Why It’s Important to Have Good Social Skills." )
In conclusion, the risk of such a device getting lost, stolen or broken is at high risk and distractions cause unnecessary loss of time. We have enough time outside of school to use our cell phones. Those are just some of the reasons that I feel that cell phones should not be aloud in school.
