    The second reason that students shouldn't be allowed to use cell phones in school for education is for the sake of the teachers, a teacher should not have to fight for the attention of his or her students due to technology. After twenty years of teaching history and ESL for Lowell High School, Miriam Morgenstern is quitting her job for multiple reasons. One of Morgenstern’s reasons for quitting is her students and their cell phones, she explains her frustration, “The texting, tweeting, and snapchatting during class time are ‘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 unacceptable that students are using their phones while the teacher…

    Studies show that 76% of youth today are texting 8-10 hours a day non-stop. This is true. As a matter of fact one day I was walking down the halls of opry mills mall and I saw this group of probably seven or eight girls. And you know when you pass a group of girls you expect there to be a lot of noise. Well in this case, when they passed I didn’t hear a single word. They were all not even paying attention to where they were going and looking down at their phones texting. I mean, what is the point in going to the mall with your friends if you are not going to even talk to each other. Now I hope this generation has not gotten so lazy to the point where they don’t even want to talk and let the phones do it for them. The thing that makes texting so popular is the fact that you can do it anywhere and anytime. The key word is “instant”. That is obviously what this generation is all about. Most people have become so used to texting that they can literally do it without even looking at the phone. They don’t even have to think about it, it just happens. That is the problem with this generation, we don’t…

Distraction causes less focus and extra time spent on work that could be done. Kids are becoming so mesmerized by new technology they do not have time to listen and learn.…

    Should students bring electronic devices to school? Some people agree with that, and some others are not; opinions are widely divided. In the article “Hang It Up,” by Jesse Scaccia, students who have electronic devices in class can affect their performance. Scaccia gives us a couple of examples. First, children have cellphones are distracted. Also, the reason children want to take cellphones to school is that cells make them look cool.

    Ever since I have grown up, cell phones have always been apart of my life. I received my first cell phone in the third grade. So, I’ve had a cell phone from a young age till now. Back then, texting and driving was not such a big deal because not everyone had a phone. However, nowadays just about everyone owns a cell phone, even at a younger age. Since kids are starting to grow up with phones they are becoming more attached to it. Just about everyone I know texts and drives. My mom always tells me not to, but even when she drives, she will do it. All of my friends text and drive, but it seems like the girls do it more than the guys. We have a group chat and there will be many messages and I have seen the girls swerve on the road because they are looking at their phone. I think everyone agrees on the fact that it is not good to text and drive, but they cannot handle themselves not to do it.…

    At least 80 percent of all teenagers have cell phones, this is more than any other group of people. A lot of experts think that teens text and driving because they are less responsible than adults but who taught them these bad habits. Parents should try to set a good example to their children by not texting and driving. As a son I have often seen my parent’s text and drive and yet when I remind them to keep their eyes on the road they often get mad at me. While when I was first learning to drive my parents would not let me keep a cell phone in the car at all. I think parents should try to set a good example for their kids.

Like I said, teens get influenced by their parents, and do as they do. But teens shouldn't follow their footsteps.

    One of the big obvious reasons is that it is extremely dangerous (2C R.W) and nearly 500,00 people are injured annually. Over 6,00 are killed each year because of drivers talking, texting, and emailing behind the wheel. Once you are on the road, right when you pick up your phone, you are 23 times more likely to get in an accident than non-texting drivers (4A K.S + R.W). Not only do you put yourself at risk but you put others also. Nicole Meredith, 18, experienced the dangers of teexting while driving as well as John Breen, 28. Nicole and John both were texting and both totaled their cars due to this mistake. Nicole survived with a story to tell, but John left the world, torn and shattered. Margay Schee, 13, was also unlucky when her school bus was rear ended by an 18-wheeler who was found texting while driving. It could have been prevented if they had waited to open/recieve these text messages.(Edgins) (Breen) (Burgos) (Oprah)…

    Even though a lot of places in the United States are completely illegal to use the cellphone while a person is driving, there is still a lot of states in US where this rule is not applied, and it has been very dangerous for the drivers. Most of young people between the ages of sixteen and seventeen specially, text while driving, making them pay more attention on their phones than the road, which is not a mature attitude.

    A teenager just learning to drive does not know what to pay attention to, or what to do if a situation erupts in front of them. Having a cell phone in their hand will only make matters worse. The attention span of most teens is already low to begin with, so keeping phones away from them while driving will help them stay focused on an important task such as driving. They may say they know what they are doing and that they are good drivers but anybody, even the most experienced drivers have to pay attention to the road ahead of them. As a teenager myself, I know I face strong consequences from my parents if I am ever caught texting and driving. I believe that all states should have cell phone laws and that they should result in loss of driving privileges if you are caught not abiding to those laws. Driving is very vital to daily life, as you may need to go to many places that are not in walking distance; but when driving, you have more than just your life at hand, you are also driving around many people and one mistake could take your own life or somebody else's. People need to realize that and know that they should give all of their focus on the road when behind the wheel of a car, that will make the…
