Consider the benefits:
- The ability to communicate in emergency situations. After all, it's not like modern houses have home phones, and if something happens at school then phones could be very useful in that situation (Pediatric Experts 1).
- Opportunities for social contact with peers. What if a kid is having a bad day, and they want to text their buddy during a traveling period? There's no harm in that (Pediatric Experts 1).
- Ability to gain immediate knowledge for personal or academic use. Say, if your school computer died, you could look something up using your phone. Or, another example could be a calculator. Don't have one? Use your phone. Easy. (Pediatric Experts 1).
- Music. A lot of kids find comfort in listening to music, and I think that's a central use for phones at school. I'm not implying that listening to music DURING class without permission is what kids should be doing, but during traveling periods, free time, or lunch they should be able to. Schools should not ban that altogether.
CONSIDER THESE, GOVERNOR MURPHY!!
redford supported: Stop Governor Phil Murphy from Banning Cell Phones in Schools K-12Phones should not be banned. Students use it as a way of communicating with friends and parents. Communicating with your parents is very important to do when something comes up. Our phones allow us to do that without having to go up to a teacher and ask to speak with a parent. It also gives better privacy to what the student wants to talk about
