texting in the classroom

Should cell phones be allowed in the classroom? Cell phone adoption among teenagers has increased significantly and access to the internet is general. “78% of teens now have a cell phone, and almost half (47%) of those own smart phones. That translates into 37% of all teens who have smart phones, up from just 23% in 2011”. (http://www.pewinternet.org/files/oldmedia/Files/Reports/2013/PIP_TeensandTechnology2013.pdf) Bring a cell phone to the school is not a problem. However, using cell phone in the class room is a big issue because cell phone cause cheating and non-focusing in the classroom. So, students should not use a cell phone in the classroom.

Cell phones could increase cheating.  If a student decides to bring his or her cell phone to the classroom, there is a possibility that they would use a cell phone in the class while no one knows. Then, once they get used to use cell phone on the test, they will start texting or searching while they take a test. This can cause a big increase in cheating. School is sanctioning student’s cell phone during the test. For example, if students cheat on the test, school gives punishment to the students. However, school needs a stronger cell phone policy than now because student thinks cheating is not that serious problem.

Students could not focus on the lesson. We should not have cell phones in the school because if students are going off like someone is calling other students, both students will be distracting the whole class. Also, students wouldn't pay attention in class because they will be too distracted texting others and playing games or texting on their cell phones.

Opponents-students should use a cell phone in the classroom- worry about an emergency situation such as permission to leave school early for reason of health. However, students could contact their parents through their teacher or school. Or, cell phones will have to be in student’s lockers and cell phones had to be shut down. And, the teachers will have permission to go throw their lockers and see if their cell phones are off. If there not off they will be taken away and their parents or guardians will have to come and pick them up and pay $15.00 dollars. If they get taken away the second time their parents or guardians will paying $15.00 dollars and spend one day in school suspension for one day. In emergency situation, all of the policies have to be excused.
