I hate to call it a phone because these little touchscreen devices that most of us carry inside our pockets right now are our tool. It is something that we must not leave the house without. Our smartphone is the first thing we look at when we wake up and the last thing we look at when we go to sleep.

Earlier in this decade, parents weren 't even thinking about getting their kid a cell phone. Now in this generation, the cell phone has enabled parents to communicate via text, email, or video calls. Kids and teens from age 7 - 15 are getting smartphones. When I was kid my parents never got me a cell phone let alone a smartphone, they always gave me money to use at a pay phone. It is important to understand that it is now a different generation and more and more kids have access to the internet on their phones because parents give it them. The cell phone access given to kids by the parents give parents ability to monitor kids and check up on them and for emergency.

More disturbingly, “Nearly 1 in 4 students thinks that accessing notes on a cell phone, asking friends to text you answers, or using a device to search the Web for answers during an exam isn 't cheating” (Miners). Students assume that since the resource is available, then it should be taken advantage of. Now since student are abusing technology resulting them to cheat will get cell phones banned from most k-12
