i think its risky beacause what if your parents call you and its an emergency and i wont have my phone to answer them.

it could be good because there will be less distractions in class but it can also be bad because a student may need to contact someone

Banning phones in school could actually be dangerous. In case of emergency students should be able to call their parents/guardians through there own cellphone. There is only so many School phones and lots more kids. Kids have their own cellphones they should be able to use it. Now have to use the schools to reach their parents. Not all parents like to even pick up the phone when it is unknown, but they would pick it if they saw it was their son/daughter.

My thought of it is a yes and a no because students these days dont pay attention to the class and use their phone as a distraction to him not learning.also, i think that student don’t follow direction due to electronics entering the classroom

the reason is that some students need it. For example, calling their mom for something. But some students don’t pay attention to some teachers. you can’t ban phones in school but you can not let students use their phones in class.

banning phones is bad because in case of an emergency you would haven’t call your parent or if they have to call you, you would have no way to contact anyone

You should not ban phones because in case of a emergency you might miss it

I think that schools should not banned phones because a lot of people need them, there could be an emergancence in home or at school. Also a lot of people walk home they need their phone to be safe.

Cell phones can also be used as a reminder tool for students homework assignments because most students don’t have a planner to write their assignments in and some can’t remember what they had for homework. Teachers can also use phones during school to send out a message to all the students if they need to remind them on a subject they forgot to mention during class. Students can also use cell phones to access Google Calendar and other apps to let the students become more independent

Banning phones could benefit schools as most kids would get less distracted. But phones could also prove to be beneficial to students as they can take notes on them and if they forget something like their laptop they could do the work on their phones

I myself say that schools should not ban phones in case of an emergency or if their parent’s are running late, they can call them which makes it easy for them. Also if schools did ban phones, the office may have a giant crowd of kids around them just to use the office phone.

its ok banding phones kids might pay more attention to the teacher but also no because you need youre phone to contact youre parents when you have some kind of amergency for example you staying after school.

Banning phones in school would not prevent phones it would just be making people get in trouble while bringing their phones today a phone is and essential necessity

I think this is a good idea. I think this is because when students have their phons they are looking at it and seeing if their friends texed them and if their phons are off they will not be looking and getting distracting them

I think its risky because what if there is a emergency call.

Banning phones from school shouldn’t be allowed because there are other ways to deal with it. Students would need the phone to contact parents in case of emergencies or to let them know when your home from practice or walking. Phones are more beneficial than bad so therefore they shouldn’t be banned.

I think that if you ban phones from school, you can’t call your parents or answer their calls. If they call you and its an emergency, you wouldn’t be able to answer and see what’s going on. Another example is that you wouldn’t have time after school to ask who is picking you up and that is some information you need so you know when you’re going. I think they shouldn’t ban phones because of problems like these.

instead of banning phone think of another solution, what if there was a emergency and our parents wouldn’t know because we dont have our phones

I think that banning phone seems a little much to ban phone we could just handle this situation in a simpler matter

banning phones in schools is good and bad because kids get easily distracted or don´t pay attention, but it can be good for important reasons such as, calling a parent, medical reasons, and free time

i think its risky because what if your parents need to call for for an emmergencay and you wouldnt have your phone to anwer them

I think that we should have our phones because when we gonna get picked up from school we could tell our parents that we out of school and pick us up and I also think the phones shouldn’t be banned just in case we have a emergency.

i think its risky beacause if your parents call you for an emergency you cant answer becuse you wont have have your phone

I think that schools should not banned phones because a lot of people need them, there could be an emergancence in home or at school. Also a lot of people walk home they need their phone to be safe.

i think that we should be able to use phones for a limited time somit wont ba a distraction

difficult to determine directions and mechanisms of the causal relations between mobile phone multitasking and academic performance.

School’s should not ban cellphones because it can be used in an emergency like having to contact someone to tell them something important or something happens at the school that the parent or guardian needs to be notified

I believe banning phones at school should be a thing for like the statement said there is a lot of cyber bulling and now a days cyber bulling isn’t a joke. And also how teens never get off their phone and and stop messaging their friends. and I know people can argue with " What if there is am emergency" well i’m sure their parents can ring the school, yes you may get the news late but at least you still got it.

they shouldnt ban phones because their can be an emergency at any point

banning phones is beneficial and risky for several different reasons it will never be settled weather they should be banned or not

i think completely banning phones is a little bit over the top maybe we should limit the time we have on our phones

I think that’s its beneficial because kids are using there phones in class and they don’t pay attention.

Risky:This could be risky because the students could have a problem and the kids won’t have anything to communicate with there parents.

The uses of phones in school can be many, but by banning phones from school you can be taking away more than you think. Even after you ban phones a whole lot of kids are so used to it, they’re gonna continue either way no matter what. It’s really not effective and would probably cause even more issues. Like retaliation. If it distracts kids in class there’s not point in telling them to stop if you already have a million times. They learn the hard way and when they see the consequences they themselves will do what’s right

banning phones is a good thing and a bad thing because what if you dont have your phone and there could be a emergency with family and its a good thing because education is more

if we have to wear uniform its only fair

I feel like schools shouldn’t ban phones because sometimes their can be really important calls/texts, and if they miss it, there can be a lot of consequences. Maybe put some rules like put the phones in a bin, or make sure every kid has them on silent/put their phones in their backpack. Just don’t ban them, just make sure you put rules on them.

Thats dumb that they try getting rid of phones because they come in use

i think that it is not necessary to do all that. i feel like there is a easier way to control this issue.

banning phones in school should not happen because if there is trouble at school we need to get a hold of their parents, but then again the kids can be using it for other things.

For me, without the distractions of mobile phones, students may be more engaged in class, leading to improved concentration and academic performance.

If the cyberbullying will continue outside of the school day, I’m not sure removing it from the school when professionals have a chance to intervene and counsel will be successful in curbing any of the behavior. It may curb it (to get back to old-fashioned bullying) from the school day itself but won’t help stop the overall behavior/problem.

i don’t think people should really ban phones at school because some people might need their phones to contact their parent(s) for either pick-up or even just an emergency. I think too many people are overeating about this situation, yes there are some kids who still don’t care and use it during class but they can just get their phones taken,i think all of us shouldn’t have to suffer for their actions.

I think banning phone is a bit risky. I understand student might take and send or even post videos or pictures of you without your consent. This could be a sign of cyberbullying depending of what the video or picture is about. You also dont need to ban the use of phones because family members or parents may call you in a cause of an emergency or a late pickup.

banning phones is risky because students could have some health problems and they might call there parents for any emergency

There is some people who would take out their phone and use it during the teacher is teaching, but other people don´t have to suffer because one kid used their phone during class. A lot of people might need their phone for emergences.

i dont agree with banning phones in school because there might be an emergancy and have to call your mom

This concerns me because I would be worried about getting my phone stolen, and missing important messages from my families. If an emergency occurred during the school day like a shooting, no one would be able to quickly get out information to a large group

Some schools don’t have lockers for teenagers to put their phones inside their lockers, but I agree that phones can be a distraction at school because of their lack of school and if their grades keep getting low, then they won’t have a future. If there’s an emergency parent can call the school because they know their children have to focus on their education first.

The reason i dont agree is because students can get in situations where they need to call someone bust dont wanna got to the office and its a emergency then they wouldnt be able to call because they banned phones.

I think this should not be happening in school,because if I had to do this I will be getting worried, and missing important messages from family. Also if there was to happen something bad in school we wont be able to reach people and inform our parents .

I disagree with this because phones can get easily stolen in the lockers. Also what if a parent needs to call or text because of an emergency for their child without other people knowing. Also I think it’s too much to ban phones at school, just take them away from the specific student that doesn’t know how to act with their phone.

because If you ban them kids are just wanna use them more because and its not beneficial because theirs not a way you can get money from that cause kids are just gonna wanna use them more

important to them.

Everyone wants to ban cell phones, and sees the positives in doing so, but when it comes down to it people are unable to actually do so.

that banning phones would benefit the students cause a lot of kids get distracted and if you ban them its better cause they will pay attention in class and they will be on task and do there work .

While phones are distractions they also lead to other problems. New forms of bullying came out of technology and people can get really hurt because it is so easy to hurt someone else feelings. You don’t have to think about it or say it to their face. It has become a big problem.

Cyberbulling isn’t going to stop occurring if phones are taken away at school. It mainly occurs after school and over weekends, so removing them during school won’t change or help anything. Also removing phones will take away a kid’s chance to show an adult what’s happening.

if its out side of school hours its because they are playing games on an xbox or their phone if it happens alot on school hours then do it, if not then why is it the schools problem to worry about it because at the end of the day its still going to happen

I think there is some research out there now stating that multi-tasking really isn’t productive. We just have created a society that demands it, but in reality quality of the work done and the satisfaction of completing the task is lower. I have to look up where I read it and get back to you.

Other technology provides us the same opportunities that our cell phones do, so getting rid of the phones may not help a lot. Laptops, for example, could become more of an addiction if they’re what we are using more than our phones. There could be danger of a new addiction.

on-demand searches for information and live streaming lessons to sick classmates. There are lots more positives that aren’t mentioned in the article that Judge students have told me: looking up and submitting an assignment on a course website, translating in foreign language classes, etc.

It sounds as though a large component of this is how the cell phones are used. For a vast majority of people, cell phones are an inextricable part of daily life and finding productive applications for them seems much more feasible than trying to get rid of them.

Hadn’t heard of that term before. But all the examples seem to be in places that don’t have a lot of resources and connectivity, generally in developing countries. That seems different that the U.S. and European debate. That’s not to say all U.S. communities have adequate resources and connectivity.

I can see why they want to ban phones in school. Yes, sometimes they can be a distraction. It will be hard on most people because we go from all the time on a phone to none at all.

Another reason I think a ban is unrealistic
