Mobile Phone Should be Banned For Students at School

Issue:

Nowadays, mobile phone user increase dramatically. It is because mobile phone features and functions
have enhanced. Mobile phone is not only used for calling and texting but also for taking pictures,
recording video, playing games, accessing internet, and much more. These days, mobile phone not only
used by the adults but also used by teenager and students. However, should students be allowed to
bring mobile phone at school?

Argument 1:

Many schools do not allow their students to bring mobile phone to school. It is very reasonable, because
bringing mobile phone to school potentially disrupt the learning process. A lot of students use mobile
phone irresponsibly. Students often use mobile phone to communicate with their friends during the
class. They also like to take pictures with their friends in the class as well. Those can make the students
less concentrated during the teaching learning process.

Argument 2:

Mobile phone also provide a large temptation for the students to cheat in a test. As we know, mobile
phone can connect people to anyone and anywhere on this planet. So, they can ask their friends for an
answer for the test. Because of the small size of the mobile phone, students can send text quitely
without being noticed by the teacher. Learning at school is to behave fair way not cheating.

Reiteration:

Therefore, schools should ban their student for bringing mobile phone to school. However, in case of an
emergency and students need a call for help, schools should provide easy access to phone.

Firstly, by reading we can get a lot of information about many things in the world such as science,
technology, sports, arts and culture.

on the entertainment column such as short stories, comedies or quizzes to make us relax.

others to get knowledge, news, information and also entertainment. In other words, we can say reading
