I think that students should be banned at school because students can cheat on test, students could have too much screen time, and students might get distracted in class. First off, one reason cell phones should be banned from school is because students can cheat on tests. When students have a cell phone next to them they can get tempted to get on the internet during a test. For example, in the article Do Cell Phones Belong in Classrooms? The article says “An April 2010 study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project and the University of Michigan found that in schools that permitted students to have cell phones, 71 percent of students sent or received text messages on their cell phones in class. In the majority of schools those that allow students to have phones in school but not use them in the classrooms - the percentage was almost as high: 65%. Even in schools that ban cell phones entirely, the percentage
Thirdly, cell phones are just another item, and banning them makes them more irresistible to people, especially teenagers. "As a student, I understand that cell phones are distracting while a teacher is trying to help the students--but at the same time, I believe they become even more distracting to the class as a WHOLE when teachers make a huge deal out of trying to take a phone away or punish a student for having a phone out."(Answer.yahoo.com-2009)Cell phones could be one of the 5 distractions-talking, playing, throwing, devices, and physical actions. With cell phones you're making less distraction to the class because you’re not disturbing anyone but yourself and that’s a good
Another reason why phones should not be allowed at school is cheating. Cheating happens rarely on cell phones. Cell phones allow student's to look up anything on Google. Google gives student's an enormous amount of information about an answer or topic that they looked up. Not only is looking up answers on on Google a way of cheating, but taking pictures of the answers is a way of cheating. Phones also get you in trouble with cheating because if you get
These are just a few of the reasons cell phones should not be banned in schools. Indeed, there are downfalls to a cell phones, but they're also good and very useful during school. Like for example in case of emergency, parent wants to check up on their kid, helpful with school work, and lastly electronics are more fun for kids including their own device.If you can't use you cell phone in your school talk to your principal or teachers and state why they should change their mind and maybe you'll change their
should allow them. The main concern for the schools is that cell phones can distract students from learning and that they can be utilized to cheat on exams, with both of the these reasons leading to some schools banning cell phones entirely. However, because of the educational benefits of cell phones, they should not be banned, and the reasons are because students can use them to contact their parents, they have a lot of applications that are designed solely for schools, teachers already do enough to restrict cell phone use, and they encourage responsible use of technology.
Hmm, phones in the classroom! What do you think? That is a debate between billions of people in the world today. Children all over the world have phones, but they can not have them out during school hours. Cell phones are important to so many kids and adults. These devices have been around for so long, and many people can not live without them. All around the school campus, students are miserable without their phones.

Without cell phones, kids wouldn't have access to their social media accounts like Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more. So take this into consideration, even if it is in one class, students should be allowed to get on their cell phones during school hours.
Buzz, buzz, students phones goes off during the class. Imagine if you were a teacher and you were always distracted by phones, you would not like that. Most people think that having a phone out is a bad thing, while others believe that it is okay to have them out during school.

One reason why students should be allowed to use cell phones is in class is they can listen to music to help them concentrate better. For example, in the article ‘Do Cell Phones Belong in the Classroom’ it states “Many teachers have given in and allowed their students to listen to music through their earbuds while they're doing individual class work (reading or writing or conducting research). "I concentrate better on my schoolwork when I'm listening to music," is the rationalization from many students.” (Earl.) in other words this shows that many students agree that being able to listen to music while working helps them concentrate and would cause less disruption or socialization.

Many places in society are setting policies on digital device. The principal at my school has also set policies on banning cell phones in school. Students should not be permitted to use cell phones in school. Using cell phones during school allows students to cheat.

Although there are a few negative effects, I believe there should be a smoking area on school because nicotine helps reduce stress, students who smoke won't have to sneak around and smoke in the bathroom, and teachers who smoke won't have to struggle through the day won't have to wait for a smoke.
First of all, using cell phones in school is distracting, to the user and to other people around him or her. One way phones can be a disturbance is because the user can text and communicate with their friends. Also, they can play games or look through social media applications and websites that they have on their phones instead of doing what they are supposed to be doing. Based on a study in 2016, 675 students in 26 states say that they use about 20% of their classroom time using electronics for activities that are unrelated to the class (Reed, “Digital distraction in class is on the rise”). Imagine if the study was done in all 50 states, the number would be multiplied by two. The amount of interruption cell phones cause during class time annoys other students and also the teacher.
