Kids Should have Phones in school.
Kayleah Harkey Johnson Phones in school is very popular most people get in trouble for having their phones out. During class, passing time and lunch I can’t even put my phone down because I love my phone too much. A lot of people think that phones in school are too bad for kids to have in school. Either people say it draws away attention or it’s a distraction to other people. The reason why I think it’s a good idea to let kids have phones in school is because they need it for emergency in school and after or on your way to school. Sometimes in some schools they let you listen to music or play on free time at lunch. But most kids are late for class because they were playing on their phone so what I am saying

My mom told me that when I lose a phone I am not going to get another one because I was bad. But my mom keeps buying me more and more phones. After I break phone from phone to phone. My mom just loves me and wants me to be safe all the time so she wants me to have a phone at all times. Even if I am home and there is a house phone around us my mom always wants me to have a phone where ever I go. Even if my mom doesn’t want me to have a phone because she doesn’t trust me she doesn’t want to buy phone after phone because I keep breaking and cracking my phone. But we ant talking about that right now we are talking about why kids should have phones in school. The reason why people think that kids shouldn’t have phones in school is because they don’t need a phone that bad some people also think that it’s just for emergence’s. That schools have phones we shouldn’t have phones guess what it’s not all about emergence’s. It could be about someone that’s trying to break in and you ae somewhere that your teachers know where you are but they can’t get you in time. That’s some of the things I think why kids should have phones in school. Not all parents will let kids take their phones to school but I know for sure my mom

    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.

    Phones in school are both helpful and a distraction. They are helpful because it makes it easier for a parents to get ahold of a student faster then if they call the school and tell them, then they have to go find the student and give them that information.

    Phones in class distract other students. If a ringtone goes off for a call or text while students testing or working on an assignment, it causes them to lose attention on their work. If a phone turns on when the lights turn off, the light from the phone distracts students and people in the room. If the phone makes any sound it draws attention from students. This one reason proves phones allowed in classes lead to bad things because they attract attention.…
