Should Students be Given Harsher Punishments for Cell Phone Use in Class?

Providing it didn't infringe any law, one solution would be for persistent mobile phone users to be corralled into their own classrooms where they would be free to use their phones without disrupting the learning process of their more conscientious peers. This way, those who wished to learn could do so without disruption and the moronic phone users would be inflicting self punishment by passing through the education system unemployable benighted misfits. 1

That's an interesting idea, but it would render our schools scrambling for extra resources for such kids. Besides, we need productivity in this country. Sure, you could argue that a kid who would choose to use his phone is likely not going to become a productive one, but then there's the possibility that he could by buckling down and facing class with severe phone punishments. I don't think so because teachers at my school are pretty strict about phone usage in a classroom. My teacher says everyday "If you have your phone, please mute it or turn it off." Of course its a big problem with cheating on tests and stuff, but the teachers and staffs are pretty strict about even seeing a phone through school hours. XD |
