Jordan Hoecker 1A Ring, ring, ring.. Beeps, beeps, and more beeps. The classrooms are filled with crazy ringtones and vibrating desks. People are laughing and talking louder and louder. All of this chaos is because of cell phones.. Cell phones should not be permitted in schools because kids wouldn’t concentrate, it would distract other kids, and the teachers would get mad. Kids would not concentrate if schools allowed cell phone use. Students would get too distracted on what the text message said other than their school work. Texting in class would be used as a form of cheating. If students started cheating, their grades would drop because they would not care enough to study. They would just use the easy way, and cheat instead. Texting would distract other children that are in the class, and they would not be able to pay attention. Kids could also cyber bully other students, which also takes attention away from their studies. Cyber bullying could also lead to bigger issues, like getting the police involved. Gossip and rumors would spread easier too! Drama would be more worried about than studies. Teachers would get angry by the kids paying more attention to their phones more than their work. No teacher would be able to talk because kids would not focus on the notes, they would be focused on texting their boyfriend or girlfriend back. Teachers would eventually give up and students would not know anything that was going on. More and more students would start or continue to fail. School boards should keep the no texting in school so students would not get distracted, they would not get harassed, and teachers would stay happy. Even though cell phones are a part of everyone’s day to day life, they still should be kept out of the educational environment. It is an easier way to keep children educated and the school environment would work more efficiently. Students would make better grades if they put their school life in front of their social life. Listen to the school boards, and turn off the cell phones when entering school.
