should cell phones be allowed in schools?

One of most modern advance in technology in 20th century is cell phone. Cell phone has many positive attribute to helps us better our life. Now day, cell phone is like a mini computer that allows people to do anything from communicating with people to shopping online. Now people are trying to put limitation on the use of cell phone in certain place such school because of distraction cause by the use of cell phone. Many people are arguing that student are using texting as a new means of cheating and it is latest form of corruption. Even though cell have few negative effects if used in school but i think it many more positive effect than negative effects.

one way the cell phone will help the student is when they are put dangerous situation. In our recent history, the school shooting has increase dramatically. The most recent one is the Virginia Tech shooting where 33 student were dead. It could have be many more if it wasn't for the use of cell phone in the school. The student use cell phone to alarm their friends of shooting. Most importantly use cell phone was to call the police for help. Situation like this remind us that cell of phone is needed in school. Argument that student are using texting to cheat is nonsense. Well, my argument is that we pay enough money to teacher to do there job. One of their job is to make sure none one cheat by walking around the class during the test. Basically, if teacher do there job then there shouldn't be a problem.

Another thing that modern cell phone comes with GPS system with allow police officer to track the person down if they get lost or kidnapped. The argument about how cell phone is latest form of corruption is stupid because it is up to the person if he or she want to get corrupted. In conclusion, the argument to me are nonsense we you really think about it. Therefore, cell phone use in school has many positive effects compared to negative effects.
