Should students be allowed to use cell phones at school?

Express opinion.

Essay

In today’s world, cell phones are undoubtedly one of the most marvelous devices with built-in features suitable for day-to-day tasks. However, it is open to question whether mobile phones should be utilized in conjunction with traditional schooling method. In my opinion, it is advised that students be given the green light to bring phones to school.

To begin with, cell phones make it possible for children to stay in touch with family. A student can call home and ask a family member to bring them a forgotten assignment or tuition money or to come to pick them up if they are sick. Furthermore, cell phones enable parents to track their children’s whereabouts before, during, and after school. And, in cases of emergency, students with their smart phones along are like having a guardian angel beside them.

A cell phone, when used responsibly, can be an excellent tool for school communication.

Another point is that cell phones are a fabulous learning resource. Students can make use of tools like the calculator , map, and calendar which is of great benefit during classes such as Math or Geography one. Moreover,

a phone that is connected to internet grants students permission to get access to the world’s biggest information warehouse, thus turning itself into a hand-sized encyclopedia. In other words, it provides all the answers to every question students have at the expense of few milliseconds. Cell phones are an quick and easy way to incorporate technology in the classroom.

To recapitulate, with regard to drawbacks, disruption and distraction are the two that are clear to everyone. However, cellphones improve communication and provide learning resources to a great degree. So it will be a waste of opportunities not making the most of this advanced piece of technology in this age of modernization.
