Cell Phones for Students



Students should not allow to have cell phones in elementary and high school.  First of all, students have a difficult time focusing on school work.  They are so engrossed in their favorite Youtube channel and the latest fashion clip art on Pinterest that they leave little time to studying.  The elementary and high school years are the important years to develop the self and good study habits which will help students succeed in college and even the real world.  Technologies can definitely help the students study but they are a big distraction and can prevent the students to reach their full potential in the academics.  Inappropriate videos are all over the internet and just a click of a button, the students have access to inappropriate videos such as pornography and other elicit sexual videos on the web.  Secondly, students may be a prey to cyber bullying.  Many students have experienced bullying on the web and many have chosen to take their own lives rather than suffering all the consequences of the bullying.  Elementary and high school aged students should go out and play to explore the world around them. This will help them to do well in school and to form concrete understanding.  Also, students should participate in activities in clubs at school where they can develop as a person and build leadership skills.  Students are future leaders of our nation and rather than letting them waste their time with the techy stuff, why not have them invest in activities that would help them develop as a person.
