The blaring ring tones and rippling vibrations make both teaching and learning difficult. Teachers try to prevent students from texting under desks and behind books, because students tend to pay more attention to their cell phones than lessons. However, people should also realize that a cell phone can be the next thing that can save life. Schools keep an outward appearance of being a safe environment, but you never know when student’s lives can be endangered by other kids or adults. Phones can always be turned off to prevent distractions.
1 Should cell phones be allowed in school? Cell phones have been argued to improve academics and education, but they introduce and create more problems as well. Students can abuse the allowance of cell phones, as they have done before, such instances in bullying, bomb threats, and use of features distracting to learning.

Cellphones have many capabilities which cannot be controlled, and not all students may be able to afford a cell phone.
Jessica C December 1st, 2013 ENG 511 Professor So Revised Paper 3 Texting Should Be Allowed in Classrooms In today's society, text messaging is extremely popular for all different age groups. A unique way of text messaging on a phone is that the text message can be quickly transmitted to another person without taking up a large amount of time. Text messaging is also private.

The student can then call their parent and ask them to take them home. Parents can also track their children's location using their cellphones' GPS system. Most cell phones today have a built-in GPS chip to allow their location to be found at any time. So, parents can make sure their children are at school and aren't ditching. And, of course, children could contact their parents in dangerous situations and vice versa.
The outcome of such actions may not turn to their favor, it may cause complications in the cases of their grades. Which brings us to the topic of cellular phones, technology as we know it has grown to be apart of our daily lives, but this particular device is of great significance for students and not always in a good way, take Professor Dianna Van Blerkom word.

She says these media devices reduce our natural ability to form relationships and be social with one another. When people are together, they now divide their attention between the person they are with and their Blackberry or mobile device.Turkle stresses that the growing trend of constantly carrying a cell phone can have a negative impact on children.

Everyone needs electronics in their life from a simple cell phone to a smart car. We need electronics today for the most important things today, like contacting those who we love and care about but can’t see them because they are so far away. We also need it to help those who aren’t able to support themselves like an elevator that helps those who can’t walk as well as other. These types of things play a huge part in our society, and shouldn’t be changed. Being isolated from love ones for a day would hurt someone, but not seeing them for two years straight is crazy.
Today we live in a new world full of different technology, which includes computers, cell phones, video game systems and much more. One of the most common technologies today is the cell phone.
