ReplyDeleteI think not using cell phones in school is a policy. For the school directors dont want all the chaos of the ringing and the students might not pay attention. There will be little or learning for all the phonese going will be going off.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with the policy for if something goes wrong and your family or friends need you to know something they wont be able to get to you. The teachers could say have them on vibrate and you have five minutes to be on it outside. it can be useful in class for if that particular person doesnt have a computer and there cell phone does they can get it of there cell phones. If theres a break in at the school and the students are there they can use the cell phone to call the police and tell them what is happening. This is why i disagree with not being able to use cell phones in class or at school.

ReplyDeleteI think the no cell phone policy makes sense. Cell phones could distract Students from learning. It wouldnt be right if a student just answers the phone in the middle of a lesson.
I agree to having a cell phone at school, but not using it at school and keeping it turned off. Just in case of a real emergency, like if the power cut off and some one broke their leg, thats when I think its a good time to use the cell phone. So i think its a positve and a negative to this policy.

ReplyDeleteI think no cell phones in school is a school policy because, you can easily call somebody up to take you out of school or interupting a class when it is being taught.
I disagee with this policy. Reasons why is if you have a situation or an emegency at your house and they don't know the school number it is important to have a cell phone. If you have like a powerout in school and you need to call if your sick its best you should have a cell phone.
We should be able to use are cell phones in school because it might be something important like if a family member is going out of town and left your key at home or something. I dont know why they have cell phones basicaly illeagal. Its really not going to be a disruption in class unless we dont have it on vibrate. The school should think abot makeing it so we can have cellphones. We cant do anything else.
ReplyDeleteThe three ways cell phones can be useful is because if school get canceled like it day it did when it snowed hard we will have a way to call home early if the office is filled. Also another way it si useful in school if somebody is hurt in the hallway or something we can call for help right there on the spot. The last way is because that we are high schoolers we should be able to have that type of privilage.
Well from what i'd think using cell phones can be used on school policy. For the school director's & staff deosn't want students to have cell phone during school because i guess of the disturbance such as ringing and fashions of the phone that can just easily other students and teachers in the classrooms.So that's probably why teachers doesn't want students to have cell phones and other merchandics.
ReplyDeleteWell I disagree with that policy because if something goes down and your guidiance (which means your parents) wants to know whats the problems with you in that situation they aspected you to have a cell phone with you as possible, so that's why i disagree with that policy about "student are not allowed to use their cell phones".
We are not allowed to use cell phone a shool currently because it is distracting, rude, and not really needed. I think that we should not be allowed in schools. Because your at school there's people at shool to talk to and if not do your work that's what your there for any way. I'm not saying phones shouldn't come with you to school, just don't use them. It could also be for the protection of the school. Only if really needed you can text them or just go to the office. But if your in math class or any where that you need a calculator you can use it with out distracting your fallow students around you. To me there's no real reason so don't use them then no problem in class.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I think it a school policy.First,it can make alot of noise in class.Second,you can be talking on it.Third,others could be talking to each other.Final,it could be ringing in class.
ReplyDeleteI will say I disagree.You can for personal needs.Your parents can be calling you.You can use it if you need to go home.It can be you if the school don't you number.
boston walton i think we should have thme for emergency i disagree because if you have an emegency you would need to be contact on your cell phone if you need a ride and the phone is down you would need a cell phone for someboby to pick you up
ReplyDeleteScott I this school policy because cell phones are decating.Also students can live it on when thay enter the class,next the cell phone could ring and dueascl.I agree with this policy.Thay'er disstaring,loud and can be stolen.

ReplyDeleteReally I agree and disagree because some of the students be doing very irrresponsible things like makeing bom threats and calling people up to the school to fight someone or worse.
ReplyDeleteAnd the reason why I agree is because for example I have my phone at school with me because if I get sick or need something from home I can call my family, or if I need to call my PO, or just simply missed the bus and need a ride home.
That's the reason why there are good and bad reasons that students should be able to have cell phones at school.

ReplyDeleteCurrently, students are not allowed to use cell phones in school. 1) Why do you think this is a school policy? 2) Do you agree or disagree with this policy? 3) If you agree tell why. If you disagree tell how cell phones can be useful in school. Give at least 3 arguments for your decision.
ReplyDeleteWhy yes I think that this is a school policy but also I dont think we should have that school policy because there could be an emercency oneday when somebody might need to use there cell phones and we wont be able to use our cellphones that isn't good at all. I just gave you the reason why I disagree with the policy. Another reason is because there might be a family life of death situation and they wont be able to find out until they get out of school. The last reason is there could be a killer in the school builing and youm might need to call the police up here so thats why I disagree with the policy on why or why not should we have cellphones as in use our cellphones.
I think that this is a school [policy because many students have cell phones and half the time it really disrupts class. I truly agree with this policy because many students can cheat on major test and sometimes they get things started alot. I also feel that they should be able to use them for an emergency but then again they could use the office phone or one maybe from their teacher.
ReplyDeleteI think that many kids use cell phones to start fights and many things of that sort. I think that if a student has a cell phone and has it loud or has the ringer on maximum their phone should get tookan. I think that all students shouldnt be allowed to have cell phones I think that they should earn the rigth to have one.

ReplyDeleteThis cell phone policy was put in place cause the texting of answer to a person test. To help them out on the test. They did things like talk on it in class why the teachure is teaching. Just doing stupied stuff like making noise with the phone for example there ring tones.
I dont agree we shouldn't have them at all. Just have the for at least for emergences. I agree with shouldn't have it in class. But it would be cool we can use it in lunch or the hallway. That is my argument on the cell phone policy.

ReplyDeleteI think cell phones are not in the school for the safety of the school, staffs, and students. If cell phones were allowed teacher and other authorities won't know who you’re calling and that's a problem. I disagree with the school policy because that's the point of having a cell phone. Some of the students are 18 19yrs old and they can't use their cell phone, but they can sign their self out of school. Cell phones can be useful in class on a certain extents for example if there is an emergency instead of leaving class you can use your cell phone.

ReplyDeletewhy i think this a school policy because we have students that use them to be disrespet the teacher and the students that want to learn. i can c if we need to use the cell phone for some important family thing. i know i dont use the cell phone in school because i dont have one. I know that if i had one i would use it for only importantthing like if my moms call me because something happened and they needed to tell me what was goingon. i agree and disagree because i know there things that might need to do or lke i said what if something happeded with the family.
1)I think because it's a big disturbance all of that ringing and beeping.
ReplyDelete2)Agree
3)Because if I was the teacher and I was teaching why would i teach if it's a lot of children phones going off everytime i start a sentence
I think the reason they have the no cell phone policy because it interrupts class time. Also, because students cell phones go off in class and distracts the teacher from teaching. Another reason is because students are always texting and uses the phone in class to make phone calls. I agree with this policy because students shouldn't use them in class.
ReplyDeleteIn conclusion we should be able to because incase of an emergency, we can make the important phone call. Cell phones can be useful in school because if something happens thats important, we could make the calls that we need. Also, sometimes something bad can happen and we might have someone outside of school contact us.

ReplyDeleteI think it is a school policy because the administrator might think it might cause trouble in this case I disagree. I disagree because this school does not have any phones they have one phone in the school building. I think it’s only fair if we have our cell phones. In case of an emergency we can call on our cell phones.
ReplyDeleteI think we should be able to use them in the cafeteria and on the bus or something like that. That’s the cause the teachers shouldn’t have their cell phones. That wouldn’t be fair and then they be answering their phones in the classroom. I highly think that’s disrespectful. Their phone calls might be important. We feel the same way when we answer the phone
*!*KEONNA*!*
think that we should be able to have a little free time with our cell phone because we might want to play some music and what not and plus another reason would be if something happens at the house hold if somebody gets injure like a grandparent they try to call then u could have problems.should be able to have them in class just incase something goes wrong cause u will never know what could happen.
ReplyDeleteSchools should just accept the fact that we are going to have cell phones in class and everywhere else just give us alittle free time to every student just for like 15min or less some students to use Calculator or to go on the internet.

I think it is a school policy because they don't want it to get stolen or broken, and it could make you not want to do as much work. I don't agree with the policy. I would not let it stop me from working. One argument that I can put is that we are in high school we should be able to do that. The second argument is that all of the student that we have isn't bad. So those are my opinions for today's writing prompt.

I think that you should have cell phones in school not in class because something might happen to my mother or grand mother or something or my probation officer might have call my house and i wasn't there so she will have my cell phone number to reach me.But on your phone in class if i was a teacher or principle i would let them use there phones only for emergency call only or if they don't want the food thats in the lunch room.
Antonio Terrell
ReplyDeleteNo i do not think that we should have phone because we will not do the work that the teacher give us to do for a grade because i know that i will be on my phone all day and i will not do no work for the hold day that why i say no
I agree with it because phones can be a great distraction for many students, But i also disagree with it because people should be able to atleast use them during thier free time like lunch for example. pareants mite be calling for a family emergency because they dont have a phone they cant be reached.the school phone mite be unreachable or some one mite not be in the office at theat time.A job offering mite be calling you for a job but because you cant use your phone in school none of these things matter.
ReplyDeleteWhy can the teachers be able to recieve and return phone calls when the students mite have the same responsibilties that the teacher be having. Can you tell me why the teachers can use thier phones and the students can't.Please explain to me why you think they can.

I think that students are not allowed to use cell phones in school because they are distracting. In school people usually play music on them and somehow the teachers feel that it is a problem. Schools want no electronic entertainment while in school. I disagree with the schools policy.
ReplyDeleteI think that cellphones should be allowed in schools for emergencies only. I you have to call home, it makes it much easier. The only reason the cellphone uses should stop, as if they continue to violate the rules

ReplyDeleteI think we shouldnt use cell phone in the class. They are distraction an also the kids be talking about bad things an talking loud in the class but i think we should use them in the gym or outside because people cant be distraction.
ReplyDeleteARE if they do use the cell phone
they were stay after class or write me some sentence. To help them out on the test. They did things like talk on it in class why the teacher is teaching. Just doing crazy stuff like making noise with the phone for example there ring tones.
We are not allowed to use mp3s at school currently because it is mean, unkind, and not really needed. I think that we should not be allowed in schools. Because your at school there's people at shool to talk to and if not do your work that's what your there for any way. I'm not saying phones shouldn't come with you to school, just don't use them. It could also be for the protection of the school. Only if really needed you can text them or just go to the office. But if your in math class or any where that you need a calculator you can use it with out distracting your fallow students around you. To me there's no real reason so don't use them then no problem in class.
ReplyDeleteI think we should have cell phones in school but we shouldnt be able to use them during class but we shiuld use them when we want to call parents for ride home so i dont agree to that cause we should be able to have cell phone in school.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a school policy because people would rather talk on the phone then do there work.i an on both sides because there are reasons that having a cell phone is good and bad.i agree because the cell phone can get taken.i disagree because the cell phone could be useful when the school phones aren't working or if the teacher will not let you use the phone then you could use yours.
ReplyDeleteI think we should have cell phone but only for emergency only because cell do distract student and they interupt class and they be on there cell phone while in class.
ReplyDeleteThat why I say they should be use for emergency.
I'll say it okay to use cell phones at school, but like at lunch or during our break. Because what if one day we really need something we could ask our teacher can we step out in the hall to call instead of goimg to the office. I think it would be a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI kindof understand why the don't want us to have them because studeent will try and get out of controll with it if we counld use our cell phone at school. But teachers use theirs during school some even use their during teaching time. so why student can't use theirs. So all I'm saying is that we should be able to use our phones during our break or something , but not during class.
I think that this is a school policy because the staff thinks that by students having cell phones it will be a huge distraction from their work. I actually disagree with the policy to an extent. I believe students should be able to use their cell phones at school. I think there should be designated times for students to talk on their cell phones. Some times that they could talk on them could be at lunch, gym or in class when there's no work to do. I believe that by letting them talk on the phone it will be less chaos in the classrooms because everyone will be into their own conversations && not worrying about much else.
ReplyDeleteHaving cell phones at school is also good in case there is an emergency. Their parents or family member may want to get in direct contact with them instead of having to go through a lot of trouble by calling the school. It could also help if there was like a bad storm or power loss at the school the students could have cell phones to call home for rides.

ReplyDeleteI think we shouldnt be able to use cell phones and class.Cell phones are distraction in class because they pay more attention texting then what the teacher is saying.I think you can have a phone in school unless its on vibrate and your not on the phone in class. If you really have a emergency you can use thyour cell phone.
There are also reason why you should use cell phones in class. You can use a cell phone in class for a caulator in math class.You can use the enternet to look up vocabulary words or other websites. If the office dont always let you use the phone a cell phone.
I think not using cell phones in school is a policy. For the school directors dont want all the chaos of the ringing and the students might not pay attention. There will be little or learning for all the phonese going will be going off.
