Electronics are an important part of our society. “Of the estimated 7 billion people in the world, 6 billion have access to mobile phones” (Wang). Over thousands of these cell phones are owned by K-12 students. One of the main topics of debate is: should cell phones be allowed in schools? “24% of schools have banned mobile devices altogether and 62% allow them within the school, but not in the classroom” (Raths). Cell phones should not be allowed in school because children focus more on their phones than on their homework, which would create more drama and encourage cheating. Cell phones should not be allowed in school because kids are always wondering what their friends are doing and what they are doing. that happens outside of school. If they have access to their phones all day, they will be glued to it. Phones are more fun than a teacher lecturing in front of the class. Most students will start to get distracted or fall asleep when a teacher begins a lesson. It's always easier to focus on something when you're interested in it. For example, it's much easier to remember a song than a study guide. Twitter, where kids post what's going on, is more interesting than algebra or biology. Social media is a watering hole in safari. Everyone wants to be present, during all activities. Having access to a mobile device all day will create more drama among students and teachers. Teachers will become more frustrated because students won't pay attention to what they say. So teachers will start to complain more and try to turn the phones into the office and complain about the principle. This would probably cause more stress at first. Furthermore, this would also cause drama among the students because... halfway through the paper... they will be able to meet up with their friends and will be able to make plans. Texting is to a high school student what cooking is to a chef. Every time you go you always see a group of guys with at least one on the phone if not more. Cell phones should not be allowed in school because children focus more on the phone than on schoolwork, it will create more drama and promote cheating.
