Carrying Cell phones to School for Students Nowadays more and more students carry cell phones to school. In my opinion, there're both advantages and disadvantages for students to carry cell phones. On the one hand, they might need it in case of an emergency. Like if the student's parents are at work and he need permission to get medicine from school so that he can just text them. On the other hand, it could stop from school needing to buy expensive high-tech computer. Puls, cell phones have an automatic grammar-check and are easily breaks down , some people have extended service so they can call for help easily! The negative aspects are also apparent. Cell phones are a distraction, plain and simple. Students get distracted because they try to text on them instead of paying attention in class. Some students have even used cell phones to record answers and cheat on test. It is difficult to say whether carrying cell phone to school is good or not in general as it depends very much on the way how students use it . However, from a personal point of view find that cell phone should be allowed in class but they should not be able to use them in class.
