The first reason cell phones should not be allowed in the classroom because of distractions. When the students are working on their cell phone they can very easily be distracted and end up not working. Cell phones also can make a lot of noise which distracts the students from working. Also, having a cell phone in front of you can be very distracting.

Cell phones can be distractions more than they can be useful.

The first reason for no cell phones in the classroom is bullying. Cyber bullying is a problem because kids can send very mean messages. Also, kids can take embarrassing pictures and send them through out the school. Lastly, cell phones can also be used for spreading mean and untrue rumors. These are just some of the many reasons bullying supports this topic.

The first reason cellphones should not be in the classroom is texting. During a break in class a student could start texting someone in another classroom. They could also text during a test. Students could text while the teacher is lecturing. These are all ways students could be texting during class to other students.

My first reason why Cell Phones should not be allowed in the classroom is cheating. Kids could cheat during a test by getting the answers off the Internet. Also, could get the answers from another classmate. Lastly, they could cheat by copying the answers into their phones notes and copy the answers during the test. This is the first reason why Cell Phones should not be allowed in the classroom.

One reason to not have cell phones in the classroom is cheating. Kids could send text messages, take notes (use them later), or get on the Internet. Many kids have found new ways to cheat, but between passing notes and texting, I think the cell phone wins.

Cheating is a big deal in class with a Cell Phone. During a test some one could pull out their phone and text someone the answers. Also someone could get on the Internet and find the answers online. People could also write down the answers of a test right on their Cell Phones. That is my first argument.

My first reason why cell phones should be allowed in the classroom is that it is less expensive than an iPad. It cost less, yet it does the same thing. They can surf the web, download apps, and you could send notes via text message from phone to phone. There are apps out there that can help you in school like Pages, Numbers, or Keynote. They have the same function as an iPad, and it saves the school money by not having to buy as many iPads.

The first reason why we don't need cell phones in the classroom is because students could use them to cheat. One way students could use cell phones to cheat is by going on the Internet to search an answer. Another way a student could cheat is by texting a friend who has already done the test or work, and ask them for the answer. Lastly, a way students could cheat is by taking a picture of answers before a test and use them during the test. These are just some of the many reasons why cheating supports not having cell phones in the class room.

The first reason that students shouldn't be allowed cell phones is because of student reliability. Students could be looking up unnecessary information. The second reason is bullying because no one would know who was bullying them. The third reason is because if a student has a phone and looks like they are working doesn't mean they actually are. This is my first reason why cell phones should not be allowed.

The first reason why cell phones should be ban from the classroom is because of disruptions. Because of the disruptions or distractions that cell phones commonly cause, kids could lose their train of thought on a test, quiz, or assignment and it can be very frustrating. Another example is if a teacher is teaching. It can be very frustrating to teachers when their instruction is disrupted and they can't reel their class back in. Also, it can be a disadvantage to the kid with the cell phone because they are easily distracted, not getting work done or learning the necessary material. These are all examples of disruptions that are caused by cell phones in the classroom.

One reason phones should not be allowed in classrooms is because it may cause distractions. Kids might text during a lesson, this would prevent the student from learning. Another reason a cellphone would be a distraction people may play games and not pay attention. Finally, people may make disrupting sounds with their phones. Students will need to stay focused during school to get a good education, this may be hard with cell phones in the class.

The first reason why cell phones should not be legal in class is cheating. Kids cheat on a test by texting their friends during class to get an answer. Kids can take notes on their phones, so during a test they can look at their notes. The last way kids can cheat is if they have an iPhone they can look a question up on the Internet. That is just some ways kids can cheat during class.
