    Students should be allowed to use cell phones in class. In case in an emergency students can use their phones to contact parents, paramedics, etc. You name it! When a teacher and the students don´t know the answer, students or teachers can search up the answer in google. Although, the students with the cell phones can be foolish around them.

    Students should be allowed to use cell phones in class. It a bad idea to bring phone to classroom, but it is also to bring one in the classroom there are many things why. It helps when you bring one because you could cheat and use it as a calculator or text to your friends. Another thing is if the teacher lets you to have some extra time you could play games in it.

  3. Students should be allowed to use cell phones in class. They may provide service for you,but the teacher never knows if there using it for school purposes. They could possibly be
    texting someone from a different class and taking away there time from learning. We should just stick with school supplies and keep it that way. Because kids may be looking at stuff that are inapropriate or bad. The point is that kids should not turn there phones on during school time.

    Yes cell phones should be aloud in class because they could use them to help on subjects in class like science,math, and history. they could be able to call someone if they needed to and get the teachers number so she could text them and remind them about what homework they have.

  5. Students should definitely be authorized to use cell phones in class for many reasons. One reason is that if something important were to happen, the student would need to find out immediately. So the student could check their phone to find out what it is. Another reason is that it will save staff money. If students can bring in phones to use, then they wouldn't need computers to work on. This would save staff money by not needing to buy computers for kids. Finally, parents' need to know what's happening with their child. So parents can check in with their kids during break to know if they are okay and all is well. Allowing kids to bring phones to school would definitely save money and stress!

    Students should be allowed to use cell phones in class. In some schools they use Chromebooks, in some schools they use IPads. Let this be the generation where kids are allowed to use phones in class! Most kids these days already have cell phones, but for other students convenience the schools should supply the phones to them considering cell phones are pretty expensive. The benefits of having phones in the classroom are; not needing to use big computers any more that take up a lot of room in class, in case of emergency, it’s ALWAYS good to have a phone around. Come on people! Let’s make it happen!

  7. Yes!!
    Students should be allowed to use cell phones in class because they might need to call their parents or if something happens to the teachers phone and an intruder enters the class then the students can call the police. Also students should be able to play games on their phones if its a rainy day and they cant play outside. lastly kids should be able to use their cell phones in class because if their Chromebook dies or is not working they can use their cell phones to go on websites and find information in case they have a report to do.

  9. children should be able to bring cellphones in class.It should be allowed only for 5th grade and up /\.The 1st reason is it should be allowed is if the school has an emergency the student can get help. The 2nd reason is in case they have to text their mom they forgot something and to come and bring it. these are the 2 reasons I have.

    Students should be allowed to use cell phones in class. Students should be allowed to use their phone in class because it has things that can help students in class, like a calculator to help students find answers to math problems. Students should be allowed to use phones in case a student remembers that he or she forgot something important and needs to call their parents. A student may have a family emergency and the student's parents have to call their child.

    Cell phones should be allowed in class. They should be aloud in class because in a emergency they can get there phone and contact someone. Students should have there phones in class instead of in there backpacks because if they are in there backpacks someone can take there phone. If the teacher assigned homework you can take a picture instead of writting a bunch on your adgenda or a piece of paper.Cellphones in class are helpful.

  12. Should students be allowed to use cell phones in class. Yes students should be allowed to use there cell phones. Cell phones can be very helpful at times and can be used as a learning material. You can take picture of the lesson to help you when you get home for homework. If students are taking advantages of being able to use there phone in class teachers should have consequences for that one student. There are also other reasons why students should be allowed to use there phone, what if there is an emergency? Students can use there phone to call for help. What if students are having a hard time at school they can call or text someone who can help theme. Or maybe you had free time you could play games or test someone without disturbing anyone else around you. There are a lot of reasons why students should be allowed to use there phone in class it just depends if students use it properly.

    For students that bring their phones in class, the teachers don't allow them in because they think it's to distracting. Well, for my opinion, I think cell phones should be allowed in class, and during class. If you get a text or call from someone, the teacher gets pretty annoyed with it. But, if they get a call that is important, or if it's an emergency, I would simply ask the teacher if I can take this call, and find out the emergency. Plus, it can be helpful of assignments. If you forget any homework or essays, then you can go to the school page and find what you have to do. Not a lot of people like cell phones in class, but sometimes, they can be very useful. And once school ends, students can go on their phones and do whatever they need to check, type, or send.

  14. Students should be able be allowed to use cell phones in class. Some people might say that cell phones are bad for children but they are a really handy tool. For example in class if kids can't finish writing their agenda then they could take a picture of the agenda. Also teachers use their phones to for the same reasons in class then why can't students. Secondly if a student forgets his or her Chromebook at home then they could just use their phone and do the same stuff as the Chromebook. The student wouldn't be falling behind and won't waste his or her time while other students are using their Chromebooks. As a student, I do think that phones should be allowed in school.

    Students should be allowed to use cell phones in class. Students should be allowed because it can help them look up things they need in a report or project. They can also use a translater app for a student who does not know to speak english. Phones should be allowed because if the class can not go outside they can use there phone have fun with all the app they have.

  17. Students should be allowed to use cell phones in class. They should allow students to use cell phones because if something tragic happen to the person he knows that the person calls him then he he going to know. Also to let someone know something terrible happen in school and that he needs help right away.

  18. Students should be allowed to use cell phones in class.Because it helps students search something if they know what it means.It is distracting to the class if you pull out a computer and when you type you can hear the sound from the keys.It is not distracting to everyone if you use a phone because you can keep the phone low and nobody know that you are using a phone.

  19. Students should be allowed to use cell phones in class because they can be very useful tools for learning. First of all, they are good for searching up information. For example, if a 6th grader from Paularino Elementary School doesn’t have a working chrome book, they can use their phone instead.
    Second, if their is a very big emergency and a teacher or another member of staff doesn’t have their cell phone, students could use their phones to call 911.
    Third, again, if a students chrome book isn’t working and they need to type a project, they can use their phone to type instead.
    Finally, if a student has won a contest or earned it by good behavior or good grades on test, the teacher may allow them to a game or games on their phone, as long as it is appropriate. You could just do it on your chrome book, but when it is in testing mode, you shall not be able to go out of it.

    Yes,
    I think students should bring them only for emergencies. I think that they should just in case a fire starts. They could call there parents for them to be picked up. Then they could be picked up and students with no cell phones they could call there parents with the office's phone. Second the students could just be texting there mom in the middle of class because they don't feel so good and then tell there teacher. Or first tell the teacher then text your mom.Some students need to wait forever,and if you text them in class by the time the student gets there the mom would be there. Then the nurse would check if its true or the mom will tell immediately if there sick or not. Well I rest my case with , they should because you never know if its a big emergence like a fire or if there sick.

    Cell Phones in Class

    Students should be allowed to use cell phones in class.Why?Because if they have a problem to solve and didn't know how to get the answer they would use the calculator to help them solve and get the answer right. They also might need it in case of an emergency and they need to contact their parents immediately they have their cell phones right there.
