some schools have restricted the use of mobile phones. Is this a positive development or a negative one. Give reasons for your answers and give relevant examples from your experience.
In recent times, mobile
phones
usage has become popular in schools which have led to some schools putting a limit or completely banning its use. This
is an idea I completely support and this
essay would be discussing my reasons for this
and cite relevant examples.
The majority of young people in schools own a mobile telephone that is
increasingly becoming a source of distraction to their education. One important advantage of restricting its use in the classroom itself is that it can improve learning. The constant ringing and buzzing from these devices especially from social media platforms in addition
to the inability to resist the urge to respond results in decreased concentration both for the teacher and student. If this
trend persists , it would consequently
lead to a fall in the student's grades, hence
, banning telephone usage in classes may be a more reasonable way to avoid this
.
Another reason in favour of limiting telephone usage is that it improves socialization and communication. A lot of individuals spend enormous time on the phone chatting and interacting with individuals they barely know and may never meet rather than those around them. This
in turn reduces their interpersonal skills and they may eventually not be able to form meaningful relationships which is an important contributor to a well-balanced life. For example
, so many youth centres around the UK have been shut down due to a decline in attendance. It turns out that the youngsters find these social gatherings boring and prefer spending time on their mobile phones
leading to an isolated life.
In conclusion, the invention of mobile phones
is one of the best things that happened to mankind as it aids easy communication but nowadays students are using them recklessly and this
is really affecting their education so a ban on the use of phones
in the classroom is an ideal method to combat this
problem.Submitted by ijeomaonwere on
