MOBLIE PHONES: SHOULD THEY BE BANNED FROM CLASS?

MOBLIE PHONES: SHOULD THEY BE BANNED FROM CLASS?

Do you think is anything worse than a phone interrupting you every five minutes, especially when you are at school, you're having your lesson , you're trying to explain something the best you can and when you're about to say something you hear J Lo's latest hit and the idea flies. That moment you'd surely want to see the phone flying through the open window.

Teachers have reached the point in which they can't stand mobile phones anymore. I don't say that children should be kept from having a cell-phone in school but during classes the phones should be put on silent or switched off. Imagine what would happen if you heard thirty or forty phones ringing at once? The class would be turned into chaos and school would look more like a disco rather than a place where you go to learn.

The rule should also be applied to teachers because there are cases when they also don't turn off their phones and they may have the surprise and hear their own phone ringing. This is one of the reasons for which some students let their phones to ring, because they consider that if the teachers do so they are also allowed to do the same thing.

My honest opinion is that everything depends greatly on the education of each person, or on what they understand by mutual respect and co-existence is a small community , like a class of students, where if one of them makes a mistake they all have to stand the consequences.

To sum up, every one of us has the right to hold a property and use it as he considers the best but you must take into account the fact you are not alone and what to you also affects other persons. Students and teachers should try to get to an agreement that would suit both parts so as to avoid future misunderstandings.
