Today we’re going to talk about cell phones in class. Should they be allowed?
One of the problems with cell phones is that they can be a major distraction. There’s nothing worse than someone’s cell phone ringing in the middle of something important. And if the people actually start talking, it’s even worse. This is why many teachers are trying to ban cell phones from school. They say they disrupt their classrooms and break their students’ concentration. Worse, if they ring during a test, they can really hurt someone’s grade.
But lots of people disagree. They say kids need cell phones. Some kids have to keep in touch with parents and work. Rather than banning cell phones, some say that school officials should just make kids use them responsibly.
What do you think? Should cell phones be allowed in class? Could we use them in the classroom to help teach English better? Watch this video and tell me what you think….
