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. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

There are those, who believe that
phones
should be forbidden for
children
, and there are those who oppose
this
view.
Although
uncontrolled usage of
such
devices could affect
children
's health, I believe that the possible benefits of it outweigh the drawbacks, the latter statement appeals to me more. In
this
day and age, almost every child has a phone,
due to
the fact that it is the easiest way for parents to contact them in the modern world.
However
, younger ones are still developing, physically and mentally, and overwhelming stimulation could have negative implications for them.
For instance
, there were experiments with rats, which showed that waves radiated by
phones
, slowed down the development of the brain,
thus
there is not enough evidence on how possibly it could influence
children
. The second opinion is that
children
should use their
phones
, and I could not agree more with
this
idea. With new technology development, they not only learn how to use them correctly but
also
become better at it than the previous generation, which is something natural to happen. By using their
phones
children
could learn faster and consume much more information than in the past,
due to
that, they
also
learn how to choose only important parts to memorise.
Furthermore
, younger ones can communicate not only with their classmates.
For example
, numerous
children
during playing online video games, communicate with their peers around the world, which helps them to be more tolerant and culturally developed in the future. In conclusion, I would like to point out that despite the fact that
phones
might be harmful to
children
, in the modern world they become part of our daily routine and younger ones should
also
have the opportunity to use them and benefit from them.
