Bringing
Mobile Phone To School
[Issue] Students are not allowed to bring mobile phone to school. The reasons
why they shouldn't bring mobile phone are: avoiding losing mobile phone and
disturbing the lesson time.
[Argument against] This policy causes parents to react. Some of them
disagrees. They think students need to bring mobile phone in order to be easy
checked and controlled. Some parents say that they may call their children
every break time to check whether they are in the school or not. Other parents
state that they don't want their children to come home late. By bringing mobile
phone they are able to call their children after school off.
[Argument against] Students also have some objections. They need
mobile phone to tell their family to pick them up after school. Beside that,
they need mobile phone to access the internet to search some information they
need during the lesson.
[Argument for] But, some other parents think differently. The
parents agrees if the school prohibits students to bring mobile phone. They say
that bringing mobile phone to school is useless. They are afraid their students
are busy with their mobile phone. They are only calling, sending text, chatting
and receiving inappropriate file during the school time. They are also worried
if the mobile phone is missing.
[Recommendation] By hearing to those arguments, the school decide
some policies. The policies state that students may bring mobile phone but they
should leave their mobile phone in the teachers' room. They may take their
mobile phone after school time.
