Allow phones in Sioux City community schools


Allow phones in Sioux City community schools
The Issue
I want to solve the ongoing issues of how cell phones are not allowed in our school. According to several studies, cell phones are like a security blanket for high schoolers. For example, have you ever heard an adult say "I feel lost without my cell phone?" This is a common saying that goes for us teenagers too. Our generation is geared towards technology and we should embrace it rather than turning it away.

The video above states several examples of how students use their cell phones in educational ways. It overall helps us as students become more responsible. It also helps prepare us for the workforce because they use cell phones during work and still manage to get the job done.
