Dear, Mr. Warren/Stepdad
I think that schools should ban cell phones because it is not safe for students to have cell phones, students don’t need cell phones, and they are a distraction.
One reason that schools should ban cell phones is because cell phones are not safe in schools. For example every time I research on if cell phones should be banned lots of safety experts say that cell phones are not safe in schools. Another example is if there is an emergency and the school needs to call the police or fire apartment, they won’t be able to come as fast because most parents will be trying to call their kids to see if they are okay, and that will slow the phone network. Lastly, cell phones get stolen a lot and a group of kids have been caught stealing $4,000 worth of electronics. That is one reason why cell phones should be banned from schools.
Another reason schools should ban cell phones is because students don’t need cell phones. For example, students don’t need to call their parents asking where they are going to get picked up because they can use the office’s phone. Another example is, I know kids might …show more content…
For example, if an alarm or message ding goes off in class, everyone in the room will immediately look to where the sound came from. Another example is, a student could be playing games in class and everyone will be watching the game. If everyone is watching the game it will be very hard to learn. Lastly, “A study released in January 2010 by the Kaiser Family foundation found that total media exposure per day for young people ages 13 to 18 increased from 7 hours and 29 minutes in 1999 to 10 hours and 45 minutes in 2009.” This shows that students can’t possibly be paying attention the whole time in school because to be on a phone 10 hours and 45 minutes per day kids would have to be on sometime during school. That is my third reason cell phones should be banned from
