Cellphones themselves aren't distractions. Students who use their phones are already distracted. Just as much as someone could use their phones for games or social media, someone could use their phone to send an e-mail to a teacher or make a reminder for homework. Neither the students or phones are bad, it's how and when they're used.

Phones should not be allowed in classrooms because it takes away the student learning time. Studies show that students do 20% better on exams than those who use their phone in class. "In fact, students without access to cell phones perform 13-20% better on exams, according to studies conducted by the London School of Economics." (Amy Bennett).

A lot of the things within our phone easily can stimulate and entertain you. So having them in class will totally dampen your poor teachers mood because you're not learning from them at all. Not to mention your ignoring their handwork and passion put into this job they've devoted their lives to. As well as working through these trying times when they don't get any bread for a pretty brutal and thankless job. We love you Ms. Ale and Ms. Miller

Science researchers have done a lot of studies throughout the years but one recent study shows how students get awfully distracted, when it comes to cellphones for example Nearly three-quarters (72%) of high school teachers, a third of middle school teachers, and even 6% of elementary school teachers say that ”students being distracted by their cellphones in the classroom is a major problem” (Lin, Parker, & Horowitz, 2024). This research coming from different schools shows how much this really is a problem anywhere.

Students in class shouldn't be able to use their phones because this assassinates the learning environment. While researching I found from Harvard"More than 75% of public schools in the United States banned cellphone use in one form or another in the 2021-22 school year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. In 2023, Florida became the first state to ban cellphone use during class time, though districts can decide whether to allow it during lunch and breaks. As of August 2024, eight other states — Louisiana, South Carolina, Indiana, Virginia, Ohio, Minnesota, Delaware, and Pennsylvania — have adopted policies or laws to curtail cellphone use in schools, according to The New York Times. New York Governor Kathy Hochul plans to submit legislation in 2025 to ban smartphones at schools, and in August 2024, California Governor Gavin Newsom urged school districts to limit their use in class. Other states, including Oklahoma, Kansas, and Vermont, are considering similar restrictions.

This accelerating approach across the country is spurred not only by the concerns of frustrated educators — 72% of high school teachers say students distracted by cellphones is a major problem, according to a 2024 study by the Pew Research Center — but a persuasive body of research. "

Phones are a big part of the life of students it's how they communicate and get information. Say there's an emergency the student wouldn't know without a phone and for information with what's going on currently our country it'd be a good idea for the kids to have that ability.
