Cell phones are the invention of a century and we pay lots of money each year to be able to text call and use it but for six and a half hours a day five days a week you expect us to just turn it off and not use it. the school year is 193 days of our lives learning random knowledge that we may or may not use in our future. we should at least be able to look at our phone 2-3 times a day to text family or friends. The teachers these days are so strict in the cell phone ban but it is so annoying for the students.
Emergencies happen in life and you are suppose to know about them but when your cell phone is turned off and not allowed to use it then how are you suppose to know. When we tell that too teachers or the principle all they say, ” if there’s an emergency then your family needs to call the office not you.” I think that is dumb because I personally don’t want the office to know about all my personal troubles or life issues.
Your grade in classes affect whether or not I think the teachers should let you check your phone or not. If you are above a 70% or so you should be able to check your phone every once in a while. If you are in the higher marks and somewhere around there then I don’t see a problem because you can still listen while on your phone, and as long as you aren’t overly abusing the time your given there is no problem. If you are in the almost failing to completely failing than it is a straight no to cell phones, you gotta catch up on your work. it is often the ones with lower marks that are desperate for cell phone use. I am not desperate I am writing this piece for the betterment of the school.
Cell phones are an every day item that I feel are mandatory to our life. so many people in this school would love if the cell phone ban got erased. I do see some troubles that could come up but you don’t need to make a whole ban about it. An idea if kids a overly abusing there time could be take it away for the day or make them hand it in at the beginning of the day. This is why the cell phone ban should be lifted
