It has been shown, by teacher experience and studies, that the smart phone in class can lower the quality of the learning experience unless carefully controlled by the teacher. <br />Teachers have a hard job, they must control kid’s attention, help them learn, and discipline them when necessary. Having smart phones in class usually makes their job harder. They must compete with one of the most popular forms of entertainment; which is a losing battle for the teachers. The History teacher for a Highschool in Lowell is one of the teachers to express her frustration with the constant use of smart phones during her class. “an incredible distraction, and makes it much more difficult to teach,” she said. “It’s pretty hard to compete with a very funny YouTube video.” It is well known that teachers help kids learn. So, it is obvious that when a teacher can focus on teaching, the students will learn better. Thus, we can draw the conclusion that stopping cell phones from being actively used in class would help improve a teacher’s job, and their ability to help their students learn. <br />However, some people claim that phones can be useful tools for learning. I do agree, Smart phones can used to help learning in theory, but in reality, they are often more distracting then useful. This brings me to my second point; smart phones are a distraction in class. For example, say a student is in history class, and the teacher tells the students to find out when the Russian-Japanese war took place. The student goes on his phone and googles the Russian-Japanese war. He finds out the date, but he gets a text notification, he goes into is text app, and he starts reading his new texts. One of the texts contain a link to an Instagram page about a friend and he goes into it and starts reading it. By this time the teacher had moved on and the student did not catch a word the teacher said. The student did not Originally plan to do all of this, but it is very easy to go from one thing to another unless the user has great self-control. As a result, students often miss important things when they are on their phones during class. Also, teachers often must repeat themselves multiple times. Thus, we see, cell phones can be distraction to the students in class, which also slows the students learning. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05680369465030950325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-69998307772901390682016-07-05T00:58:43.692-04:002016-07-05T00:58:43.692-04:00I think that cell phones should be allowed in scho...I think that cell phones should be allowed in school because they help kids learn, and teachers can counter cheating in tests and texting in class by making them put them at the front of the class with the teacher.

You don't do yourself any justice...@Anonymous, <br />You don't do yourself any justice when you comment without the courage to use your name. You don't do yourself any justice when you write to the publisher rather than the author. You don't do yourself justice when you write publicly rather than privately to someone who publishes content for free everyday without the benefit of an editor. Finally you don't do yourself justice when you get so caught up in the manusha that you can't even focus on the message. <br /><br />Do you know that I can find a typo or grammatical error nearly every day in the major newspapers I read...despite all their paid for editorial help?<br /><br />I think it would make a lot more sense for you to focus on the message and if you have some helpful advice about typos, just write privately to the author or publisher of the post.
