However, text messaging has been a major problem with students texting in class interfering with the disruption of their learning. Most teachers express how they feel about cell phones being a distraction to others, however very few students have complaints about the use of cell phones in class. Text messaging in class should be allowed by choice of the students, it can easily be discreet and the possibility of an emergency. Text messaging in class should be allowed by the choice of students. In the argument “Tapping into Text Messaging” by Janet Kornblum, says teens, techies and other early adopters leading the charge to text say it is a great way to communicate when they are too busy to talk or when making a call would be rude or impractical.
Parents should definitely have a right to say what their children can and cannot read, but they do not have the freedom to say what other children can or cannot read. Once a parent complains to a school, the school can’t do anything except pull the book out of the curriculum, and that is not equitable to anyone. There are plenty of reasons that people have come up with to justify banning a book. For example: “they teach children to spy” or “it encourages children to break dishes so they
Mr. Magee, The question of whether cell phones should be allowed in schools has been debated over the years. Most school administrations regard cell phone use as disruptive and distracting, and have implemented policies that prohibit using them on school grounds. There are benefits to letting the student body use their cell phones at school. Your parents can reach you in the event of an emergency, and vice versa. If in danger, we can reach the authorities or a medical provider.
Honestly, there is no reason as to why teachers should be allowed to bring guns to school. The school system hire school security for a reason and it’s dangerous that they can walk around the school with guns. That can make a student uncomfortable, and if a teacher brings a gun to school what does that say to the student. Most school systems hire police or some type of security to watch after students during the day. Security should be enough protection, so a teacher still shouldn’t feel the need to carry a gun.
Banning slang would be incredibly hard to maintain. Once pupils leave the school gates, they are free to use as much slang as they desire. Is it even possible to ban slang? Recently the Harris Academy in London has attempted to ban slang as they think banning slang will – “Develop soft skills to compete for university places and jobs.” Slang words such as, “Innit”, “Bare”, “Like”, ”Extra” and ending sentences “Basically” have been outlawed at the academy. However, lexicographer Erin McKean said, “You are taught to be creative in everything you do, but when it comes to language, you are told not to.” Hence this prevents young teens from being creative and it doesn’t let them fully express themselves.
Searching Lockers Protects Everyone Why do so many students oppose locker searches in schools? Some students believe these searches invade their privacy and without a probable cause they should not be allowed. Others believe these searches help the school to be safe and therefore probable cause is not necessary. The schools should be allowed to search lockers randomly for the safety and well being of the students and staff. Only one violent student can jeopardize the safety of others.
Yet I believe that this book, “The Chocolate War” by Robert Cormier, should be kept in schools to be read by teenagers. Many people believe that this book should be banned for the fact that it talks about bullying and violence. In a couple parts of the story, Jerry is beaten up. There are also multiple parts where the Vigils or Janza bully a kid. But that isn’t so bad that we should ban it.
This new policy helped reduce the amount of bullying throughout the school and also made the school look more professional. Now that the students are following the dress code properly another problem has emerged. Now there is a problem with students bringing their cellphones to school. It is a state law not to bring cell phones on school campus, but students bring them anyway. This is a problem because cell phones are a distraction to the student.
Although laws are being passed to prevent cyber bullying on school property, it is still occurring because of many educators that feel unprepared or unwilling to handle these situations. Some are unsure of the extent of their authority. School district discipline codes often say little about incidents that occur over student cell phones, home computers and off-campus speech because the majority of the instances will occur after school is let out
He has overlooked at answering mobile phone while having a conversation is impolite and it interrupts the conversation. In addition, the author is guilty of oversimplification when Ingram considers the relationship between mobile phones and the concentration of young people. First of all, the author is guilty of overgeneralisation when he considers an example about Horlick and his student. The example is that when they have conversation, a student has a call, and she answers a mobile phone. This thing makes her teacher feel impolite.
