I have noticed since COVID and virtual learning that cell phones are a bigger problem more than they have ever been.  Students are focused more on their phones than their teacher that is teaching.  Majority of student no matter the age have a difficult time with self control and when it is their they want to be on it.

-this is too broad a statement for me to agree because how will students use their phones
-free access to phones would be a distraction for the student, the class, and the teacher. How will everyone stay focused?
-if teachers are accountable for their students during class time, who's to say that we wouldn't be penalized for what materials and sources were used on the phones.

I disagree. I believe students should be focused on their work during the school day. If they need to contact a parent or guardian, they can go to the front office to do so. Same goes for a parent or guardian. If they need to get in contact with their child, they can contact the front office. Students at my school already use Chromebooks, so they do not need the added layer of having access to texts and social media during the school day. Not having their phones allows them to unplug during the school day, and not be so "glued" to their phones.

I agree with this statement, at least in middle school, because students have a hard enough time focusing on what's being taught without the distractions of texts, calls, social media, and games.

Cell phones allow for easy distraction and doesn't allow their brain to process the content they are learning. Also, they are easily used for cheating purposes. Finally, they can disrupt instruction and harm students in terms of social/emotional growth.

While they have their benefits, cell phones are a general distraction to students. Especially middle schoolers as their brains developmentally cannot take more than 15 minutes of one thing before they need do to something different. They become a distraction to the student using it, others around them and the teacher(s). They can also cause other issues during the school day such as sending inappropriate communication (texts, snapchats, etc), posting on tiktok, recording video or taking pictures of others that are not warranted. They also take away from the purpose of some of the instructional practices we are teaching in our classrooms (communication, email etiquette, how to have face to face conversations with people).
