I attend a school called Saipan
International School, where cell phone use is not allowed during the school
day. I believe that cell phone use should be allowed during the school day
because cell phones are useful in other stuff rather than playing games on it;
for instance, calling a parent or listening to music. Today’s prompt asks is
cell phones should be allowed during school day, and the answer to that is; YES
PLEASE!
I am really not a cell phone person
and I hardly use it; though I do not use it as much as my other classmates I still
think that it is really something useful in school…sometimes. In SIS, most of
my classmates use their phones, a lot, and by having the device allowed, they
will not go to the trouble of sneaking them around the school so they won’t get
detention. The main reason I think that many of the student want to have their
cell phones allowed if because they want to also listen to music; I really do
not think that the prompt is specifically talking about cell phone but all
electronic devices that resemble a phone. Listening to music is not really a
bad thing and the advantage of having so many students listening to music (with
earphones) is that they volume in most classes will decrease because most
students will not talk. The teachers always complain that the students are way
too loud, so having the students use their cell phones to listen to music.
Some may think that having cell
phones allowed in school is a bad thing because most will think that students
will use their cell phones in classes; that is not the case. We just want to be
able to use our phones during breaks, not during classes because its common sense
that we are not allowed to play with our phones in class at all. Like I said I am
not really a phone person but I do support us using it. Another reason that I think
phones should be allowed is that at SIS, most of our lunches are delivered to
our school and we need to contact the restraint, being an enclosed private
school we are not allowed to go anywhere except our classrooms. Most of the
students in SIS order from restraints because to be honest, the menu for our
school lunches stink; we are not like normal American high schools where there
are varieties of certain foods; we are given some sort of concoction that passes
as lunch.
The most important support for the
use of cell phones is parent’s calling; some of the students in SIS receive detention
for their phone being active at school because their parents are calling and it
really isn’t fair. Sometimes parents forget what they are doing and call their
child when they are at school; sometimes it emergencies. I also think that some
students need to talk to their parents too, so calling them is something that
we need to do. Though it really isn't useful for me to protest; this is because
most of the teachers are cool, and if we ask them to let us call, they say yes.
The only thing though is that if you do not ask permission to use your phone,
you get detention.
That’s all I want to say about the
cell phone rule in school; I am not really against is strongly but I still want
cell phone use to be available. Thank you for reading~~~~~
