$\red{Counterview }$

• Mobile phones should not be banned in school

In today's modern era, mobile has become the most important thing in life.Therefore, it would not be right to say that mobile phones should be banned in school.I agree that some children misuse mobiles but I do not agree with this All children will misuse .It depends on the mobile user that how he or she uses it. If anyone misuse the mobile then there is no fault of the mobile in it.I know very well that mobile is the most important means to talk to each other or to do communication with one another

What if there is sudden crisis ? What if students has no of communication when he or she faces some difficulty or problem on the way home or school and need to get in touch with his or her parents immediately .What if any bad person harasses any students on way to home ?

In such cases the mobile is very important accessory to posses.It's important that students learn with these devices so they can effectively participate in the workforce. Mobile phones also provide a link between students and their parents, which has an important role to play in ensuring their safety.

Mobile also help in providing communication between teachers and students in case of any problem regarding their classes or their academic clarifications. Mobile phones can be connected to internet at any time and at any place which is advantageous to students to browse anything through it related to their studies.

School can made some rule or restrictions that students must keep thier mobile off during school periods and ensure that mobile is not be misused during study time .

However to banned mobile completely would leave the students cut off from his or her family at time when that students in very serious problem.

Hence ,I completely agree with the suggestion that Mobile phones should not be banned in school.

Thanks
