In my opinion I believe cellphones should not be used in class because I have experienced many distractions when using my cellphone in class.

2025-09-26 15:49:35 UTC

Think about all the people on their phones in class that you assume are playing games but in reality they could be having an emergency or something important.

As a student I don't think phones are a good option for learning because I have noticed how many students and including myself get easily distracted with our phones.

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.

As a student I can say cellphones can be quite distracting

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).

As a HS student, I believe using cellphones in class doesn't cause a distraction as many people use it for the right reasons, many do the work first then spend their free time on their phone to not be bored.

Laura M

2025-09-26 16:52:36 UTC

As a HS student, I think that is a good choice because if the cellphone is used in a good way it can be helpful. When we listen to music we feel more focused and finish the work faster.

2025-09-26 16:53:59 UTC

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

2025-09-26 16:54:57 UTC

i think cellphones should be allowed in class aslong as you dont be distracted on them and you have self control and dont use them all the time and only for emergencies

2025-09-26 16:55:20 UTC

As a highschool student I have noticed when phones are put up were more likely to be engaged in the class but if were given the freedom to have phones then the class would be less likely to answer questions or even contribute in class.

As a high school student, I have seen how using cellphones in class can create distractions not only to the person using it but to others around that person.

As a student I've realized phones can be a distraction if you're using it as a way to not be "bored", if it isn't used as a distraction phones can help catch up on notes and on many more helpful things.

usualmente cuando una persona tiene UN telfono CERCA SE distrae mucho, pero hay otras veces donde USAR El telefono es nesesario.

desde mi Punto de vista tener El telefono en clase no es bueno ni malo, depende mucho de la persona, sometimes nesesitamos tener El telefono para tomar Fotos leer links , o entrar a trabajos de clase , por ESO es bueno tener El telefono CERCA, pero hay otras veces donde tener la sensacion del telefono have que quieras verlo y El aburrimiento have que no haga El trabajo por ESO es Malo,

en resumen, no es bueno ni Malo solo depende de la persona que lo tiene

As high school students we use our phones in class to get better information for what we are studying for since certain websites are blocked on the computer and we'll get better information when having access to our phones.

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. "

Valeria Rodriguez. From my perspective using cellphones in class is not good because I have experienced distractions.

2025-09-26 16:59:24 UTC

I think cell phones can be a source of distraction, because the class is in session and the student isn't paying attention and is instead concentrating on sending all kinds of messages or watching videos, etc., anything but paying attention to the class.

As a high school student i believe that cell phones should be allowed in a classroom because we could search up something that we can"t find in the computer, meaning that we're only allowed to use it in case of an emergency.

Using cellphones in class in common, but the use of it may be justified. After a student is finished with work, wouldn't it be rewarding to allow the student to relive themselves on their phones? Or enjoy their sense of peace?

2025-09-26 19:20:01 UTC

In my opinion I think that people should be allowed to use their phones in class as long as their getting their work done because that's what I do.

Cellphones are common in classrooms, that may be because it has become part of our everyday lives we use them not just for entertainment but for convenience.

as a high school student I think that us being able to have are phones wont cause a distraction to many students because they are actually using their phones to help them do their work or they might need to communicate with someone if something is going on outside of school

2025-09-26 19:23:24 UTC

I think cellphones shouldn't be used during class so that student don't get distracted but I also think that the teacher should set the example and also shouldn't be on their phones.

2025-09-26 19:53:43 UTC

as a student in high school ive seen the usually students use phones to disctract themselves.

2025-09-26 20:17:55 UTC

I believe that using cellphones in class could be helpful because if your computer is acting up, using your phone could help you get your assignments done or they can also be helpful with putting music on to help you focus more.

2025-09-26 20:18:13 UTC

As a high school student, I feel that using phones in school can help people focus. Especially when it comes to things like music which I also personally use to focus.

2025-09-26 20:19:03 UTC

As a student I can say that having teachers interrupt class to tell a student to put their phone away is taking away from finishing and learning more on the subject.

2025-09-26 20:21:10 UTC

Cellphones should not be allowed in the classroom. This is because studies show that 97% of the students used their phones in the classroom, where many schools have phone holders for students to place their phones. It has been stated that it causes distractions, low academics and mental health.

2025-09-26 20:22:06 UTC

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.
