Mobile Phone at School
(Con)
With today's technological advances,mobile phones have gotten into nearly every aspect of people's lives.Mobile phone is a gadget that can fulfills human’s needs in a wide variation of ways.But the usage of this thing will be inappropriate if used in wrong place,such as in the school.
There are some different perceptions on people, some claim that mobile phones contributemany benefits to use in educational environment,on the other hand, many believe that mobile phones will only contribute to already existing problems in schools, such as cheating, disrespecting teachers and staff, and giving trouble amongst other students; some even cite the possibility of utilizing mobile phones for illegal activities during school.
One of the contribution given by the usage of mobile phones at the school is cheating. Using a mobile phone, regardless of the age of the user or the location from which they use the phone, comes with responsibility. Some advocates of banning mobile phones in schools state that utilizing the camera function of a mobile phone enables students to cheat on tests by snapping photos of answer keys, test contents, or the answers on a friend’s paper.
Next is the student’s disrespect while education program is running. Students could use their phones for all sorts of mischief in class, including using the audio recording function of them to record teachers or other staff during lectures or other conversations without them being aware of the recording. Students could then use those recordings to take the speaker's words out of context and present them in a manipulative light.
Mobile phones can also cause fatal problems that will impact to illegal activities. Students can use mobile phones during school to carry out criminal activities such as placing or taking orders for drug deals, provoking students to fight each other, take and place bets on sporting events or other forms of gambling, or planning events such as bomb threats and other security breaches.
Then,mobile phones make distraction to most of students who used them. Almost all of those in favor of banning mobile phones from schools say that allowing their use in class will distract students from their studies. Features such as internet access and video gaming capabilities are the most frequently cited as the biggest distractions. While the internet can provide legitimate researching capabilities, playing video games provides no educational benefit at all.
Judging from the negative effect to students who used the mobile phone at school,the parents and the school should restrict the usage of mobile phone at school so that education program won’t be disturb.
