Cell phone has become an
indispensable gadget in our life today. Sometimes we think that life will be
paralyzed without a cell phone. It is erasing distances between people and it
facilitates us to communicate fast. With the help of a cell phone we can be in
constant touch with our family members and friends.
This gives us a sort of
confidence. We are assured that we can contact our near and dear in case of any
emergency. And now-a-days cell phone has included many options in it; it is no
longer a mere communication device. One such feature is dictionary. It is very
handy for students. We can find the meaning of difficult words within seconds.
Now the question is
whether it should be allowed in schools. Strictly speaking, students don’t need
cell phone in school. If the students are allowed to bring cell phone to
school, they will definitely create unnecessary panic in class which will
distract the whole class. Some students may take unnecessary photos using cell camera
and misuse them. They may engage in chatting with their friends or family. They
may play music on cell phone and disturb other students when the teacher is not
in the classroom.
Though some may argue that
children need to carry cell phone to contact parents in case of facing
unforeseen problems; but every school today has a telephone in the school
office where parents can convey information to their children or vice versa.
So, I firmly opine that cell phone should not be allowed in schools.
