Essay 2: Should mobile phones be allowed in school

Genre: Argumentative Essay

Mobile phone is a portable device that is used as a tool of communication between

people over a long distance. Its allow people to make calls and send text messages.
Nowadays, mobile phones are being used not only by adults but even the kids now are most
likely having them. These lead some of the kids are heading off to the school while bringing
their mobile phones along which create an issue whether should or should not the kids bring
along their mobile phones during school hours. As for my opinion, I do not think that it was
necessary for the kids to bring along their mobile phones to the school.

The first reason for my opinion is mainly because the class hour may be distrupted.
Not only the students who bring their mobile phones but the other students might also being
distracted when the phone going off during the class hour. Furthermore, when the teachers
who are giving lectures noticed some students playing with the phones, he or she might be
losing their focus because they have to stop the lecture for a while to stop them doing that.

The second reason is when the students bring along their phones to the school, their
performances in class might be going down and they will be getting bad grades in the
upcoming test. This is because they did not pay much attention to the teacher in the class
during the class hour. Most of them keep being tempted to playing with their phones and
slowly losing their focus to what has been said by the teacher. So, they cannot give their full
performances during the tests.

The last reason is the students might spread bad behaviour among the students. This
is because some of the students are being disrespectful towards their teachers because they
keep texting or may also take a call during the class hours. It is so rude not only towards the
teachers but also the others student who are giving their full attentions towards lectures.
Furthermore, the students might also get into a fight because of the phones. For example, if
there is a case when a student losing their phone, he or she might accuse other students for
stealing theirs and get into a fight among them. This might lead the school and also their
parents into a difficult situation.

From all of these reasons, it is proved that the students should not bring along their
phones to the schools. Despite some of the students using an excuse which is their difficulty
to contact their parents, they can also using another alternative by asking the teacher to use
their mobile phones or the school’s phone to contact their parents. There are more negative
influences than positive towards the students when bringing their mobile phones to the
school.
