Cellphones have become an essential part of our daily lives, and students use them not just for entertainment, but also for educational purposes. Banning cellphones would deprive them of valuable learning opportunities, such as using educational apps, accessing online resources, and using digital tools to collaborate with peers and teachers.
Moreover, prohibiting cellphones would not necessarily solve the problems associated with their use in school. Students may find other ways to access their devices, such as through smartwatches or other wearable technology, making it difficult for teachers and administrators to monitor and enforce the ban.
In addition, cellphones can provide a sense of security for both students and parents, as they can be used to call for help in case of an emergency. Banning them could create unnecessary anxiety and put students at risk.
Ultimately, the decision to ban or allow cellphones within school premises should be based on a thorough evaluation of the benefits and drawbacks of their use, and on the development of clear policies and guidelines to ensure responsible and appropriate use.
