"Should students be allowed to use phones in school?"

Claim: Students shouldn't be allowed to use phones in school because its a huge distraction to their education, and it is highly disrespectful to have while in class on the phone.

Evidence: "Cellphones, with all the technology associated, have become a pervasive element in every aspect of American culture, and it’s an issue in schools because it's a big distraction and must be address."

Explanation: Those who oppose cell phones in the classroom cite the reality that cell phones distract students from their studies. Today’s cell phones not only offer the texting capability that students love, but also access to internet and video games that is a problem when students have the phones available in the classroom. The issues of cyber-bullying, sexting, and other forms of serious misconduct are increasingly common and easier to conceal with cell phone technology. Cell phones in the hands of problem students just make the problems harder to discern and harder to handle.
