I would like to address a rather pressing issue within academic settings in all parts of the world. Students that have access to utilize their cellular devices in an academic setting for non-academic purposes are becoming a major distraction not only to themselves, but to those around them. The use of cellular devices during a time reserved for lectures can inhibit students' abilities to focus and absorb information. There is no reason for students' to have access to their cellphones during the school day unless there is an emergency. It would be greatly appreciated if certain steps were taken to bring this issue to school administrators attention.
