With that being said,I strongly disagree with your belief on cell phones. Cell phones have become an essential tool of life and communication with children being the majority…
I think that as kids we should be able to check our phones on breaks, recess, and lunch. If we get it at recess and lunch then we won’t use it in class.

The central idea of the article “Should children get to have cellphones in elementary school?,” written by Donna St. George discusses the highs and lows of having a cellphone in Elementary school. In fact, it is stated how "It's definitely a trend we're seeing at younger levels – being allowed to bring cellphones on campus," (St. George, paragraph 6). Although this might not be a good thing it is a big trend and we do see cellphones everywhere, for younger kids and even some older ones it could be a temptation for cellphones to be on campus. Another detail shown is "To expect a child to turn it off – and not touch it when it's in his backpack – is a lot to ask for a 7-year-old," (St. George, paragraph 10). In addition to the temptation, children…
I believe that students should be allowed to have a cellphone fat certain times of the day for their own personal use. I feel if kids had their phones with them at school it could help them stay safe in multiple situations and could help them communicate with their family if they don't have an other methods to do so. In certain situations having a phone nearby for your use could be quite useful, in situations like lockdowns and such because of a hurricane, earthquake, etc. you could use the phone to communicate with your parents and inform them about what happened and tell them that you're okay and you could also use it to call for help in case of an emergency.…

Some students just feel more comfortable when their phone is on them. According to a survey conducted by Sonja Lyubomirsky,Laura King, and Ed Diener in 2005 that happiness causes success. If we keep students happy they will be more deliberate to learn, productive, and more successful. If having their cell phones out makes them happy it should be allowed. However, yes, you may be thinking what if they constantly go on apps they are not supposed to, or use it to cheat on a test?…
A reason why cell phones should be taken during school hours is, because they are a distraction. Many students come to school, and come to get on there phone and socialize instead of actually learning. According to Becky Dieffenbach’s in her opinion, students bringing their own devices “just becomes a source of distraction for some students, because no matter how many times you repeat the rule that they can only be on technology when the teacher says it’s ok,…
Students should not be aloud to have their phone out in class or at school. If they have their phone out it could cause them to not listen, and it will just make a big distraction. It is ok if kids are just listening to music and are able to listen to the directions the teachers gives, but most can’t do that because they are distracted. They should put their phone away and listen when the teacher is talking, or just leave it at home so they can concentrate, and when they do have there phone out they can text there parents to come and get them because “they don’t feel good”. When the teacher is talking and a student has their phone out they should put it away so they know what to do.…

Some schools have forbidden the usage of cell phones during school breaks. They do this so the pupils will be more social and talk instead of being on their phones. This is a rather bold move in my opinion. It could be very good for the school, making the students look up and be social, but it could also infuriate the students, leading to arguments and making them simply not care about it.…
