Mobiles in the classroom

We can say the mobile phones were allowed 20 years ago because not many people had mobiles or laptops in the classroom but nowadays, if we do research about who has a mobile phone we will find each person has one phone at least.

Mobile phones can be allowed for some people or some students in the classroom. First, a newly married student should check on his wife because she is alone in the home. Second, students who have children must be able to contact them. Finally, the mobile phone can be allowed for the businessman to make sure he knows how his business is going. For example, sometime if he doesn’t answer a call he may lose many millions.

On the other hand, mobiles in the classroom are not useful. The first point is that students can’t focus on their studies. If the mobiles are allowed they will receive calls and text messages. Second, there are games in the mobile phones. Now the new phones have games and that takes the attention of the students away from their lesson. Next, the noise of sending and receiving calls and messages will distract all students in the whole class. Finally, talking in the classroom is not polite, it means there is no respect for the teacher.

In summary, there are many disadvantages of using phones in the classroom. I think students can bring their mobile phones but they have to keep them silent.
