We have lots more on the site to show you. You've only seen one page. Check out this post which is one of the most popular of all time. We all know the benefits of what smart technology brings into our lives. Needless to say, smartphones top the list of the most useful gadgets that ever got invented on the face of the earth. Context of the matter is that smartphones have taken the world by storm and its uses have been widely and well accepted.
The topic at hand is whether cell phones, in other words, smart-phones should be allowed in schools or not! Students should not be allowed to carry smartphones to schools. Forget about giving you 11 well-researched points, I could have written a well-prepared e-Book with a page stating why it is harmful to let our children carry mobile phones to their school.
A student with a cellphone in hand is an uninterested student in the class. Hey, I am not against these social media channels; in fact, I am a big fan of these myself. But socialising while a class is in session, is becoming the norm these days!
Here in this article, I discuss the Top 11 well-researched reasons why cell phones should not be allowed in school and especially in the classrooms. The notifications feature on our cellphones are a great way to keep you alerted with whatever goes on in your smartphone world. But this is a big NO-NO for a student who is sitting in their classroom, and instead of focusing on what the lecturer is on about, they pick up their phones every time there is a notification buzz.
This greatly distracts the student even while they are at their class. And then there are these other types of students who try to level up their favourite hero in a game present on their smartphones while the class is in session.
But what happens is, by the time they are done levelling up their character in the game, they end up missing the important notes in the lectures, and we hear all about such students failing in their mid-terms and sessions such as exams and final years.
Altogether the most crucial reason to ban smartphones uses in schools. When students are too accustomed to carrying their smartphones with them to their schools, the possibility of getting poor grades increases.
Glad that you asked how! Thus leaving your child to miss out on essential points and forget taking notes. Cyberbullying is a serious issue that can only be stopped if schools put strict regulations in place, banning the use of cellphones in schools. Apps and web content that are easily accessible via our cellphones have been engineered to be not only user-friendly but also as addictive as possible. According to research, even the mere presence of a cellphone around a child is enough to significantly reduce their ability to focus.
Because a cellphone is such a constant distraction, it gets easy for the line between playtime and homework time to get blurred. However, on the other hand, while some children use their cellphones constructively when it comes to doing their homework, for many other children, the cellphone only becomes a source of distraction, which keeps them from completing their homework on time.
There are also certain social implications of children using cellphones as well. The danger is that the cellphone is being exploited by people who want to meet young students online, making children vulnerable to predators, even in the classroom.
As children spend more and more of their time online, the possibility of meeting strangers increases significantly. Access to a cellphone in the classroom makes it easier for students to cheat during tests. Thanks to these devices, students are no longer required to write answers on small pieces of paper or on their arm anymore. They can just use their cellphones to record their answers and view them or listen to them during a test or exam. While in the past, school children had to go to libraries to find the information they need, nowadays, students can get access to just about any information they want to via the internet.
This has resulted in many children having a non-existent social life, where they prefer spending more time in cyberspace than with their friends in the real world. The easy access to every kind of information under the sun, from TV shows and sports events to social activities, means that many children no longer feel the need to go out and meet or play with their friends.
For children, taking part in social activities and sports activities are a critical part of their development. What is a school child supposed to do in emergencies? I think students should have the right of bringing a cellphone to school because its theirs. They have responsibility. Therefore cellphones should be allowed.
If something has happen or if they want to rearrange to be met somewhere else. If not allow mean no cell phone at all within school circumstance, i would like to say big no. It grows the mobility and flexibility between parents and their children. Why mobility and flexibility are so important? In case their parents are sick, or someone important for them is dead, or most cases, the students needs their parents help to bring something important that they forget, mobile phone is the first help to access, unless there is no even an account in their cell phone.
Even if there may be a phone center in any school, yet it is still not as flexible as mobile phone. If the case is about class disturbance, it does not mean that we have to completely ban them. For example, during the class the teacher shall ask student to put their cell phone in front of the class, or near the teacher. Then, student will have no chance to make use it wrongly that may disturb the class session.
So overall, cell phone helps student to shorten the range between their parents. Parents can still control them. Parents still have their capability to inform anything important.
If there is a emergency the parents or guardian should call the school office and then they will send some one down to inform the child. That will be a even longer process and even if a teacher does take their cell phones off them during class think about during lunch time.
Students have the opportunity to misuse their cell phone such as text bullying. Many kids have been affected by this and allowing students to bring their phones to school will only make things worse. Especially for the teacher, because of the distractions of cellphones. There is a purpose to school, and if you decide to just sit there and play games all day then you will not learn anything, and your grades might start dropping.
I think that any other time during school hours is not ok, because if a person is talking and you are sitting in your seat with your iPod, then you might get it taken away, but it is also being disrespectful to the person that is talking, because you are not giving them your attention and being a respectful listener.
You can download games and apps prior to going to school and use them while connected to school WIFI or not. I think you are wrong. You could download a program that allows you to block websites. If you have them in your school you can automatically deny any games or websites that they should not be on. You are not being disrespectful. Most schools dont have a computer of some sort so the kids have to write those papers.
Yet if you add ipods to the school it cuts back on paper and other materials that are needed for school such a pencils, and ink. Think do you really want ipods in school. They should be allowed because it used for educational related tasks like, using the calculator or searching up information or taking notes when you forget your notebook or pencil.
But I also think that teachers should limit the use of it, like during lessons and only to use during work time. Students will hide the iPod on a test, so why take the chance of having to have a student retake the test. Cellphones also used as calculators and if you can get internet access, you could search something small and quick up.
Other electronic devices like laptops can be used for research for note taking etc. We are living in the twenty first century, people have to recognize that we are getting more into technology and getting rid of paper and pencil. Using technology in class is definitely a yes. Yes students will be off task sometimes but they will still get there work done.
Over all I think that electronic devices should be allowed in schools for educational reasons. Point being, we learn more from searching and studying that we do from google doing our work for us. In the end, it comes down to the fact that cheating is easier, much more accessible, being distracted, playing games is right at the finger tips of the students. Then it comes down to money. If you want to eliminate paper and such and have all documents on a laptop or another sort of hand-held device tablet, mp3 player, phone then schools could eliminate books, worksheets etcetera.
But this means every student needs to have the same device, so that the teacher can provide documents in the same file format. This also means that every parent or school district needs to dish out so much money for very student to have said electronic device.
Overall its expensive, allow for kids to cheat, get distracted and learn in less effective way. The idea of it sounds nice, but its not as good as the first glance. This class has maybe twenty-five students. The odds that you are able to separate all the students that may possibly be talkative or disruptive is minuscule, but if you allow these students to use an iPod at a low volume they will likely just listen contently. I have personally seen students get away with it for the simple reason that they draw no attention with their head down listening quietly to their preferred music.
Cell phones should not be allowed in schools because if the students get bored, they might use them to play games or do other activities that distract their attention from learning.
In case of family emergency, the teachers have a cell phone and the parents could call them. Sometimes teachers, parents or students are part of the problem. Then obsessive, paranoid parents who want teachers to hop at their command, and students who think a teacher is their friend and should be updated on and invited to their every social venture.
Everyone involved in the fight was tagged, including the boy who was beaten up. This trend is more common for those teens whose parents are under 40 and low in educational attainment. A number of violent attacks on schoolchildren have been filmed on mobile phones equipped with video cameras. In one of the most serious incidents a teenager was shot in the leg by two teenagers who photographed her injuries with a mobile phone. Kerry Deville, 17, had surgery to remove the pellet at Leeds General Infirmary after the incident in Wortley.
Kids will be raped, bullied and harassed with or without cell phones. Many students, like biased media hubs are interested in shocking, horrifying and getting the attention of a mass audience via cheap thrills. A camera phone is the perfect mechanism by which young people aim to derive their 60 minutes of fame.
Origin: Happy slapping … began as a youth craze in the UK in late Children or passers by are slapped or otherwise mugged by one or more of a gang while others record the event on video and then distribute it by phone or Internet.
Initially the attacks were, as the phrase would have us believe, fairly minor pranks … As the craze spread the attacks became more vicious — often serious assaults known in legal circles as grievous bodily harm. United Kingdom, 18 June Police arrested three year-old boys for the suspected rape of an year-old girl who attended their school in Stoke Newington, London. Barry Lee, 20, and another year-old were cleared of all charges. Two plain clothes police officers saw the incident, and the assailants were immediately arrested and the mobile phone confiscated.
The killing was filmed and distributed online. Australia, 23 October Police in Victoria launched an investigation into the contents of a DVD at the centre of the Melbourne teenage DVD controversy which contained footage of several teenagers sexually assaulting a girl and setting her hair on fire. United Kingdom, 26 January Andrew Elvin, 17, was jailed for a minimum of 12 years for the murder of Luke Salisbury, who died three days after being attacked by Elvin on 2 March Caine Hallett, 18, was sentenced to five years for manslaughter for the same incident, while Danielle Reeves, 18, faced a retrial in May for manslaughter.
United Kingdom, 14 February Eight youths set upon a 31 year-old man in Brighton, who turned out to be an amateur boxer.
Two of the youths were hospitalised by the intended victim and four were arrested for causing an affray. United Kingdom, July Anthony Anderson, 27, of Hartlepool, urinated on a dying woman while a friend made a video of the incident. She was sentenced to two years detention. The judge stated that the courts had to make an example of such youths.
United Kingdom, August A retired care worker was assaulted and killed by two teens as he left his house of worship. From fights over a girl at the gate, underage sex, rape, teen pregnancies to Latrine humiliations, none of this is new. All of these things have been reported in books, journals, articles, movies and T. V programs dated from before everyone over 13 had a cell phone. To blame cellphones for this , is rubbish. It is the least effective and most ignorant way to handle this.
But realistically the only serious emergencies that are happening at school are forgetting your gym clothes or lunch one day.
I think cellphones are a bad idea to bring to school because there is a probability that your phone might get lost, and you are going to have to tell your parents that you lost the phone. They would get really mad at you. The other bad thing about bringing your cellphone to school is that someone might steal it and not give it back to you.
They also might call random people and talk to them. If your cell phone has an annoying ring tone it might ring in class and the teacher might take it and not give it back to you.
There are so many things that can go wrong so i think that cellphones should not be allowed in school. If there is an emergency then you can use the office phone or use your friends. Even non smart phones can be used to text answers. I think phones should be aloud bc they are used for many ways to learn and help us at school all tho they can be a distraction they can be very helpful to use learning apps or for emergencies.
I think that phones should be allowed in school for emergencies, better to have and not need than to need and not have. But if you use cell phone in class, why even bother coming to school to just use your phone at home? In France, the law prevents children from using their phones inside school grounds.
Mica-May Smith, from Bright Futures Education, an education training company, said a blanket ban was a bad idea "as children may still bring them into school and hide them". Instead, there should be a "collaborative approach with rules in place" including designated times and areas for use, she said. Phones should be incorporated into lessons as a "fundamental part of the curriculum", said Susan Wessels, deputy head of Framlingham College in Suffolk.
But half of parents support a ban on phones, a survey by price comparison site uSwitch last year suggested. Shile Ismaila, a parenting blogger at African Mommy says banning phones would "avoid distractions and helps kids focus on work". Mr Williamson also wrote about the need for discipline and structure as children return to schools.
