SHOULD MOBILE PHONES BE BANNED AT SCHOOL? C3

The debate about banning the use of mobile phones is being highly discussed nowadays and there have been many problems at schools based on this issue. Teachers and parents think they're a big distraction for students and it has an adverse effect on their marks. They waste a lot of time using applications like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, etc., while they're in class or in the playground. So, should they be forbidden at school?

On the one hand, mobile phones are always useful for students to chat with their friends or with their family if there is any type of urgency while they're at school or in class, also if you want to see the time, take notes if you think that you can write faster or that you can organize it better or use it like a homework diary because it’s a more comfortable way to write it.


On the other hand, it’s evident that not all are advantages to the use of mobile phones at school, because students waste a lot of time connected and distracted during school hours, chatting or playing games and therefore, they never listen to the teacher's lessons. For that reason, students don't understand what they are reading when they're studying, so then it’ll be worst / worse for them, and they can be punished if teachers see them.



To sum up, I agree with forbidding the use of mobile phones at high schools, but they should be able to use it/ them in any / ___ case of emergency or for an important thing they need to. The best solution is to forbid the use of mobiles during the classes, and don't take it /not to use them until the class has finished or during the break. On the contrary, teachers would take it away from them or finally, make / issue a warning for their parents.
