Question

Prepare a Speech in about 150-200 words in favour of or against the cell phones being allowed in schools

Answer 1

I do not believe that cell phones should be allowed in schools. I think they are distracting and make people okay with doing nothing. I also think they are stunting children’s social development, so here is why I think how I do.

I am still at school even though I leave next year, and even though I was not here when mobile phones started to be popular, I was here when they became more powerful than the games consoles we had 10 years ago. Every single person in my school has a cell phone of some description, and if they do not they are ostracized by the other kids as if they had some sort of disease. I have personally seen the look of horror and bewilderment of other children when one child claims to not have a mobile phone of any kind.

Mobile phones are distracting

There are so many times I have seen my classmates play with their phones in class. There are people using them all the time and teachers cannot see it. There are teachers who believe that children are following the text with their finger when they are placing the finger in their book. There are teachers who really believe that their students are just sitting there with their hands on their lap whilst they listen to the lecture. 

Stunting children’s social development

There are so many of my friends who ignore each other and play on their phone instead. I have seen groups outside where two people in the group talking were told to shut up so that they could all enjoy their phones in silence. I know for a fact that people can walk past without pants on and many students will not look up to notice.

Conclusion

The impact of cell phones in schools is nothing less than devastating. It is a shame that by the time people start studying the psychological effects of mobile phone in schools it will be too late because our society will have been taken over by a county with people who have better things to do than check Facebook updates every three minutes or plant crops in an imaginary field.
