Cell phones in class essay
I think cell phones should be allowed in school, but only at the most appropriate times. Teachers need to put a certain amount of trust in us, but we ourselves need to hold the ability to stay on task and not constantly do what we want to. We were born into a technologically advanced world. We can’t help it if we want to work with technology all the time.
There are many things teachers can teach us about on phones, and about phones. Cell phones have many uses. I think the schools should provide us with cell phones to use during class. All they have to do is after class see what we were doing with the cell phones, and then revoke our privileges if caught having an un approved message or call sent/received.
Now, about the trust. You can’t always put trust in someone, unless you feel that they will not break what you put forth in them. Teachers are a bit iffy, when giving trust. We all know the nerds, and we all know the kids that act bad every chance they get. The teachers will probably be reluctant to teach the bad kids using phones. With the good kids, they’re a little more relaxed and probably feel that they can give them some lead way with the cell phones.
What happens when the kid repeatedly gets off task? Well, simply revoke the entire class of the privilege to use the cell phones. Now, the class might get extremely mad, but if one can’t follow the rules, what’s saying he/she can’t just grab someone else’s phone to use? If the class can show that they are ready for the phones again, the school may bring them back out. It just depends on the school administration.
