If you only have them on for before and after school, lunch and breaks that gives the students a little bit of freedom. But absolutely banning them during class because of all the distractions.

My reasons are that students can use them to send texts and pictures of tests and quiz's to other kids to help them cheat. Students can take personal pictures of other kids and post them on the Internet or share them with friends. also it interrupts important class lessons. thats why cell phones should be banned.

But i also think that students should be able to have them on them for inbetween classes and after school.

I think they should be banned during class because people can text across the room answers to a test or homework and that would be cheating. I think they should be allowed in the halls in between classes, before, and after school. They should be allowed during those times because students often need to get ahold of their parents for many reasons; they may need some homework they forgot at home, need a ride after school, need something from home for private reasons that the school may not provide for you or that you want to get. But if students get caught texting/talking in class with their cell phones they should have them taken away for the rest of the day therefor they wont have them in the halls in between classes.

I mean that the lockers at our school can be opened with out a com and be stolen even easier than now and I would rather have my cell phone in the hands of a teacher I know than some kid who opened my locker and took my stuff.

Kids should be able to use cell so you can talk to family members during a crises and can help you tell your parents that you are okay or not and it can let you talk to your parents when your last words are being spoke and they can talk to and tell them they love them. Also kids might see a kid with a weapon and the kid is in between classes and could call police and tell them about the kid with the weapon. The chance of a attack is very small so it would be a good idea to have cell phones and use them just like a fire drill and drill them just like a emergence.

I disagree with matt because although he does have a point about them being a distraction in class why would a student call in a bomb threat on their school because then the student would be killed and also almost every cell phone can be traced with no problem at all that is why I disagree with matt.

Sat, 16 Feb 2008 14:15:31 +0000 http://teamg.edublogs.org/section-4/#comment-779 There are a few reasons why we should not have phones in school, but I think we should have what we have now, with being able to have them in school but not using them. Because what would happen in there was another major terrorist attack like the one on 9-11 or if there was another school shooting if we didn’t have cell phones there would be many more lives lost then if our parents had a way of contacting use or use contacting them. That is my opinion of this topic> There are a few reasons why we should not have phones in school, but I think we should have what we have now, with being able to have them in school but not using them.
