                                                BRINGING MOBILE PHONES TO SCHOOL

These days, more and more students bring their cell phones to school and it has been a controversial topic recently. I believe that students should carry mobile phones in case there happens a bad thing, but I object to phones being used at school particularly in the classroom. Many students travel to and from school without their parents and they might need their mobile phones in the event of an emergency. Therefore, students should be allowed to carry their cell phones with them to school, but at the entrance of the school, they should be made to submit them to authorities and while leaving from the school, their cell phones should be given them so that they can call their parents in case of something bad on the way to home. I said that they should leave their mobile phones while entering the school because in an educational institution whatever disrupts or spoils the class should be removed out of the classroom. In this regard, nothing can be more disruptive during a lesson than the sound of a mobile phone ringing or playing an annoying tune. Moreover, there is one more point to underline that students who have mobile phone in class do not pay attention to the lesson. Instead of focusing on the lesson, they make something on the phone such as playing games, sending messages, and surfing on the internet during the lesson, which prevents them from getting what is told about that course.  On the whole, cell phones may be brought to school, but should not be used during lessons.
