if they are cell phones allowed in school it is ok that it is not allowed in classes but breaks our projects can be easily done in phones instead of wasting days for one project it can be easily done if cell phones are there in1 period i prefer cell phone allowed in school and it will be easy for every parents as there children would be using cell phones so that any problem occurs they can easily solve by one call instead of telling all teacher and pleasing the teacher for a phone call Side: For cell phone use in school
if cell phones are used in school children can show there talent with the help of a technology anything can happen they can even prove other talent they have more than studies the can show there talent with informative technologies they some children may make their parents sad with there proformance but happy with there talent Side: For cell phone use in school

I just don't really see any practical need for them during school. Your friends are all in the same place you are, so why do you need to text them? I think it's just a distraction. Of course, I'm not against taking them to school with you, because I think kids should have one in case there's an emergency. But is it really that hard to keep it turned off and keep it in your pocket during class? Side: Against cell phones in school

YES -Can be used for cheating {reason #3} -too much of a distraction-can easily break during school -can be stolen -socioeconomic diversity {my reason #1} -theft -hacks -targets for predators -inappropriate pictures -cell phone abuse -Kids who get threatening text messages and phone calls are 4 times as likely to commit suicide than their counterparts. {My reason #2} http://www.caveon.com/resources/ According to surveys in U.S. News and World Report: -80% of “high-achieving” high school students admit to cheating -95% of cheating high school students said that they had not been detected. -75% of college students admitted cheating -Professor Donald McCabe, leading expert in academic integrity, in a May 2001 study of over 4500 high school students, found the following: 72% of students reported one or more instances of serious cheating on written work 15% had submitted a paper obtained in large part from a term paper mill or website 52% had copied a few sentences from a website w/o citing the source over 45% admitted to collaborating inappropriately with others on assignments In a sample of 1,800 students at nine state universities: 70% of the students admitted to cheating on exams 84% admitted to cheating on written assignments 52% had copied a few sentences from a website w/o citing the source No, cell phones should not be allowed in school. I think that they are a huge distraction and interfere with the students' learning. While students may not make phone calls while in class, they can still sneak and text., which gets in the way of doing what they are in school to do - learn. Since they are needed to contact parents and for all I care (I'm a student) play temple run in class. Its all we are going to do anyways. So we might as well let them be in school. And some days, its the only thing that keeps you awake. Like sometimes you are tired check a text, and get excited because your crush texted you OK seriously? Playing Temple Run in class? Texting your crush? It’s so sad what people do during class in this era. :( Cell phones allow students to call for help.
You should have a cell phone because what happens if some accident happens to you? You would have to call for help if there was an earthquake or there is a shooting. You would also need to call your parents if someone didn't to pick you up so they could come get you.” This is one reason why people think they should have phones in school. But what is the danger of that? No they should not (Paraphrased) “I say no because of the chance of murder because of during a lockdown. Crazed madmen or women could find the sound of the phone and kill or take all the school children hostage.” Though this is very mordul thing, it is reality and actually could happen, though the chances of a shooting at your school are very slim, thankfully. ost kids would freak out and desperatel Also, kids who don’t have cell phones could become very sad, plus they could be at a disadvantage. If children use cell phones in school to research and such, students who don’t have cell phones would A) Be upset because they don’t have a cell phone and B) Be at a disadvantage, because the other students can research online and they may not be able to (maybe they don’t have a computer or tablet either). DISORDERS More than a dozen studies have linked using a cell phone for a long period of time -- ten years or more -- with a higher incidence of brain tumors and acoustic neuromas. These critical diagnoses are even more common when phones aren't switched from one side of the head to the other when engaged in conversation. Other adverse health effects include: • Evidence of leukemia, breast cancer and other cancers. • Neurological concerns and changes in the nervous system. • A much higher risk of salivary gland tumors.
