Cellphones should be aloud to be used at anytime in class.
Cellphones are a major part of our modern society, a lot would say that they cannot live without there cell phone and when they are not aloud to use them in class it may make them angry. I have found out a lot of information about the use of cellphones in class and I hope hat I may change some of your minds.
I use my cell phone quite frequently during the day and also during class time in school. Teachers say that you cannot do work because you get distracted by your cell phone where I complete my work while using my cell phone during class.
I surveyed three teachers at South Land Boys High School and they all said that cellphones should not be aloud to be used in class as they are a distraction to the students and there learning environment. I have taken some quotes from the teachers "Cellphones are as of no use in class and students do not need to use them"
"I don’t use my cell phone so I have no idea why the students need to"
I also surveyed twenty students from Southland Boys High School and twelve from Southland Girls High School and from my surveys I have found that all students would like to be able to use there cellphones during class time.
Also I have found that Girls use there cellphones a lot more then boys do as a question in my survey was, how many hours a day do you use your cell phone. Girls averagely use there cellphones from six to seven hours and boys three to five.
Twenty-Eight of the students that I surveyed said that cellphones do not distract them in their learning environment and the other four said that cellphones sometimes distract them in class.
This information is from
When there are cellphones in class its comes with pros and cons and here are a few of them:
Pros
You can be in touch with your children, and know their whereabouts.
Your kids can reach you in the event of an emergency, and vice versa.
If in danger, your children can reach the authorities or a medical provider.
Cons
Students often forget to turn off their phones in class, and ringing noises or text-message alerts disrupt learning.
Even if set to silent, cell phones can still cause distraction, since text messaging has become a high-tech method of passing notes in school.
Phones can be used as cheating devices during exams.
I have found a poll on the internet and views the results of pool saying "Should schools allow cellphones?"
Should schools allow cell phones?
16%
Absolutely not.
84%
Yes, but schools should control their use and impose limitations during class time.
9705 Total votes cast.
This poll shows that over 7000 people think that cellphones should be allowed at school and just limited use.
I agree with the poll and with the students I surveyed I think that cellphones should be aloud to be used during class but limited to their use. As I use my phone to text during class and listen to music but I always have my work completed. I hope that if any teacher sees this that they may carry it on as of the results during this research.
