It prevents a student from the proper learning experience.
Explanation:
When students use their cell phones in class to check social media and text their friends, they distract themselves and their peers. The teacher may have to repeatedly tell students to turn off their devices, which can cause disruptions in class. It also can cause students to cheat. Cell phones and other devices are used by one-third of students in high school to cheat. A study found that 41 percent of teens thought storing notes on a cell phone to access them during an exam was a major cheating offense, while 23 percent considered it not to be cheating. Researchers from the London School of Economics found that schools that banned the use of mobile phones saw substantial improvements in test scores, with the researchers concluding that phones “can have a negative impact on productivity through distraction.” They also found that phones disproportionately affected vulnerable students. Richard Murphy, Dr. Richard Murphy is an assistant professor of economics at the University of Texas, and co-author of the study reports: “Allowing phones into schools would be the most damaging to low-achieving and low-income students, exacerbating any existing learning inequality.” Students' ability to learn will be diminished when they use phones during classes. This concludes my briefing.
Students should not be permitted to use cell phones in school. Using cell phones during school allows students to cheat. Students will be more distracted by cell phones and pay less attention to the teacher and to the lesson. ... Some students do not use their digital devices for the good that they have, but for the bad.
