Writing Sample- Cell Phones at School?

Most schools have a "no cellphone" rule, but why? having a cellphone at school would adhance a childs learning.


Cellphones have a handful of useful applications. Having a to-do list will notify you when you have an important meeting, work that need to be finished and when there due, if theres homework to do and if theres someone you need to talk to, it will remind you. and for teachers they wont have to remind everyone! phones that have document creators such as Word and Powerpoint could be used to publish work. You can search the internet for everything and anything at any time. Taking photos and videos can be instantly tranfered to a computer. s clearly there are a lot of uses availableon a cellphone.


And ofcourse theres after school. Wouldn't you want your child to be safe? If a child has a cellphone he or she
