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.

Cell phones are given to students by their parents to keep in contact with them during school, after school and in the event of an emergency (Brown). “Cell phones are everywhere and have undeniably become an integral part of everyday life” (Brown). In the past, cell phones were only used to make and receive phone calls. Now, they are used for many reasons. Cell phones are convenient and easy to use. Cell phones…

The use of cell phones while driving has continued to increase as phones become more enticing. With the advancement of technology, the numerous features, and apps that a person can use on a cell phone makes it even harder to disconnect while driving (Borgard).

Using cell phones while driving is a divisive topic that has led to many states…

The fact is inevitable, technology has taken over this generation by a storm. When looking back just 20 years ago, the world still seemed interested in meeting people in person and kids having fun playing jump rope outside.
