Balanced Argumentation

Should phones be allowed in schools?

There is nothing wrong with using technology in the classroom but on the other hand, it can be distracting for students, today I am going to look at both sides of this argument.

Arguments against the use of phones at school
Most students at school would own a phone and that means a lot of kids may use their phone during class which I personally do not agree with. Firstly, it is distracting. If students are allowed to use their phone in class they can download a game and play it during class or they can check their social media, send texts to other students in class and getting them to check their phone, and it can also interrupt learning time when the teacher is telling everyone to turn devices off. Secondly, people can cheat using their phones! If they let students use their phones in class during a test, they can cheat and search up the answer online and use it! It can lead to poor understanding of the subject when they grow older.

Arguments for the use of phones at school
If everyone uses their devices correctly during class, it can be helpful for them! Firstly, if there is a emergency, they can call their child to come home while they are at school or if they had forgot something and had left it back at their house they can call they parents to come bring it to them. Finally it can be used to play educational games, watch educational videos to help better their understanding of the topic that they are doing.

I think that phones shouldn’t be allowed at school, and in case of an emergency, parents should call the school staff and not their phones as it may cause disruptions in class, if students end up bringing their phone to school I think they school bring it to the teachers at the beginning of school and collect it at the end of the day.
