a1 3.5 Should smart phones be allowed in high schools?

Recently, there's been a heated argument about whether or not smart phones should be allowed in high schools. Those who support this idea think smart phones can be helpful when students are confronted with emergencies, such as fires or violent attacks. At the same time, students have access to information and a helpful guide to their homework without a laptop. Also, they can take a quick picture of notes in the class, which is much more efficient than traditional note-taking.

I can't agree that it's effective, so perhaps efficient is the word you wanted.

People who hold the opposite view believe that smart phones do nothing good for high school students but distracting them. Students might play games on their with phones in the class. Theft is another concern; a smart phone is worth a lot to high school students and it will be an ethical challenge. (What do you mean by that?) Besides, smart phones can be used as a tool for cheating in exams: the internet contains all the knowledge that humans-being have to date.

Despite smart phones being a great convenience to our lives, in my opinion, they should be forbidden in high school. High school students are not mature enough to practise self-control and self-discipline well. It's not easy for them to ignore the vibrating phone in their pocket and concentrate on their studies.

This is a more natural text than the earlier correction.
