Some people believe that children should be banned from using their phones during the school day. Others believe that children should be allowed to use their phones.

Needless to say,

cell

phones

are not only used for communication, but they are

also

used as entertaining and learning tools. We carry our

cell

phone

everywhere and it gives us a sense of safety.

However

, in some schools around the world,

cell

phone

use

is banned or limited. In my opinion,

this

is a positive development because

it improves learning and social

skills

. The

use

of

in the classroom impacts learning by reducing attention.

Students

who have their

phone

in the

class

can be easily distracted by

phone

calls, text messages and notifications on social media.

This

can interfere with learning by reducing their focus. Even if their

phone

is on silent, the urge of checking the

phone

results by losing track on what is happening in the

. Above all, if one student is using their

; others will

also

be impacted by getting distracted.

Thus

on campus is to encourage

students

to improve their social

skills

. Nowadays, people are replacing in-person interaction with

calls and text messages. That can negatively impact their social life. Even at lunch break or recess,

students

are busy on their

and don’t know what is going on around them. They can easily miss other classmates and

if they are busy with their

. According to so many researches, the new generation has less interpersonal

Therefore

. Overall,

cell

are great tools to communicate, to feel safe and to learn. While their usage on campus should be banned in order to improve learning by reducing unnecessary distraction and

increase the opportunity for

students

to get to know each other in person and improve socialization.
