IELTS task 2: Using phones in school

Some people believe that children should be banned from using their phones during the school day. Others believe that children should be allowed to use their phones.

Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, phones are commonly used by students, including children. Some argue that phones should not be used in school. Some, however, agree that there are not detrimental effects if children use phone while they are in school. To my view, this opinion need analyzing from multiple perspectives.
On the one hand, a phone connected to the internet is a great source of information. In some cases, children , especially, primary school students, take part in a discussion. Phones can be utilized to search for knowledge relating to their topic. In Vietnam, for example, phone are gradually applied to teaching so that students do not have to count on teachers. Moreover, recognizing the effectiveness of phones, a number of teachers encourage students to use phones. As a result, those teachers can come up with more activities during class in order to develop students' skills such as critical thinking. In addition to aiding studying, phones play a part as a tool which helps parents keep in touch with their children from distance. In any circumstances, children face urgent situations in school, they can call their parents instantly.
On the negative side, experts indicate that letting children approach phones too early can make them addicted to phones. They might be captivated by various contents on the internet. Consequently, instead of enjoying physical activities in breaktimes or intervals between classes, children are gravitated toward playing mobile games. This subsequently leads to a sedentary life. Furthermore, the increasing cases of eye sight problem are attributed to spending too much time using phones.
As outline above, one could see the pros and cons of phone toward children. Nevertheless, it is supposed that phones must be used in favor of children with their studying and the downsides need minimizing simultaneously.
