Cell phone

Cell phones should be banned in school for several reasons. The first reason is that cell phones distract students from learning and the second reason is cell phones can cause cyberbullying. However, cell phones are not always negative. For example, cell phones can be used positively like cell phones are a really powerful learning tool for students. however, students can use cell phones in bad ways.

Schools should ban cell phones because cell phones constantly distract students from learning. One high school teacher said, “Cell phones constantly distract students and makes problem between students.”(Abigail Hess 2019). Students can fight with each other because for example if one student accidentally breaks the other student’s cell phones they might fight with each other. This shows that if the school ban cell phones, students might fight less with each other and cell phones and the average test score increased and students wrote 62% more information in their notes. (Kuznekoff 2013) Also, students who didn’t use cell phones got 50% higher scores in their tests.(Kuznekoff 2013) This shows that cell phones make students score lower because it distracts students. Therefore, the school should ban cell phones to make student-focused on their tasks.

Schools should ban cell phones to reduce cyberbullying. according to the survey(Charlie Osborne for iGeneration 2013), mobile devices including phones and tablets that don’t need wires can be linked to cyberbullying rates among young people in school. (Charlie Osborne for iGeneration 2012) For example, if students have their own mobile devices students can easily text other students so, they can cause cyberbullying. This shows that schools should ban cell phones to reduce cyberbullying.

However, some may say that cell phones are a really powerful learning tool. One teacher said that “if you use cell phones you can easily collect data by researching on the internet, you can easily communicate with each other and also, you can get feedback on the internet.” (BSD education) This shows that if the students use cell phones they can improve their communication skills and researching skills. Also, a Technology and Learning researcher at Western Sydney University said that ” school should not ban cell phones because for student’s future.” This shows that cell phones can be powerful learning but still students can play games with their phones, they can watch videos and they can even cheat in their test by looking at the phones. Therefore, cell phones can be a powerful learning tool but still, students can cheat with it so, it is better to ban them.

Cell phones should be banned in school because it distracts students from learning and it can cause cyberbullying in school. Cell phones can be good for students because it is a learning tool but still schools should ban cell phones for students.
