The topic of having cell phones in school is very common, but it all comes down to should we really allow students to bring their phones to school? I believe that cell phones should not be allowed in school. Even though there are reasons to want and have your phone in school. Students must think to themselves, am I really ready to take the risk of having my cell phone, stolen, getting lost, or even getting it taken away. A possible consequence of having your phone in school could be not paying attention in class which will lead you to a failing grade. So say you sit in the back of the room, and you are texting your friends, so for that reason you are less likely to be paying attention to the teacher. When you are in school, your purpose there is to learn. How are you going to learn if you are on Facebook or Twitter?
