Should Cellphones Be Allowed in Classrooms?

 

Today,technology plays a big part in the world. Some people think the entry of cellphones into classrooms is an indication of social progress,and what we should do is to try our best to integrate cellphones properly into our classrooms so as to serve the teaching effectively.However,other people are against the idea. They insist that banning students from using mobile phones in classrooms will help curb the occurrence of myopia,which is good for students' physical health.

 

 

Taking the views of both sides into account,I'm inclined to side with the latter,not merely because banning cellphones in class does have health benefits for students,but also because cellphones can be a distraction in class.It's especially true for those students who lack self-control.As for me,the temptation brought by cellphones is irresistible to quite a lot of people.When connected to the Internet,we are inevitably distracted by the flow of information. We should recognize that even a few seconds of absent-mindedness can prevent us from following the teacher and thus affect our learning results.

 

 

Some opponents may make the point that we can use cellphones to search for information in class.But isn't it true that all the information we need can be collected beforehand and that some problems generated in class can be solved after class?Besides,cellphones can make it convenient for us to know the answer immediately, but it also leads to contempt of thinking and memorizing.

 

 

Of course, forbidding students to use cellphones in class does not necessarily motivate those who are not interested in learning to study hard,but what is certain is that it can prevent some students from being distracted by mobile phones.And the fundamental solution is still to make our lessons lively and interesting so that students can realize what they will miss if they don't concentrate.
