Cellphones in school

Cell phones are widely used these days. Nearly everyone owns one and that includes teenagers and even young children. The cell phone is a very important communication device, which is used in the entire  world. It  creates a big problem because of  the need to speak with someone, play, listen to music during the class. Therefore, a week ago, the principal of our school decided that students would not be allowed to bring cell phones to school. He says that cell phones disturb our education in school since it distracts us in our studies when we send messages and play in class.

 

I support his rule because, first, the cell phones in school are a big problem. The students bring them to class, they forget to turn the cell phones off or even don’t want to and suddenly the cell phone rings in  class during a lesson or a test or even when they have special activities out side of school. The cell phones are not helpful in the school area, they just disturb the progress of the class and disturb the other students' concentration as well. the cell phone in school is being used for text messaging, playing or even listening to music during the class.

 

Second, the cell phones can be used to disturb the lesson by calling  another student with the purpose to disturb him or make him get into trouble. In addition, another use for the cell phone is cheating during the tests or text messaging to other students the answers of the test. The cell phone is much easier to hide during the test, so it is much easier to cheat on the test.

 

In conclusion, I agree with the rule that says that cell phones are not allowed in school. It will make our studies more effective and active without any rings or noise from any cell phones during the lesson, so that we can stay more focused in our studies,learn more and to make a progress in  life.

Special Activities

Special activities are very important. In our school we go to many special activities, like lectures, plays, field trips and movies. The purpose of those special activities is to enrich our knowledge and to open our minds to new information and subjects in our lives.
One more purpose is to make our time in school more enjoyable.


Those special activities are supposed to open a new world of information to the students who  participate in them. But there is a problem.The special activities can be very interesting and educational but the problem is the interest level of the students in the the lecture or the movie or even a filed trip.They can choose not to listen to the information and even do some problems if they are very bored.

At the other hand, the special activities can be a good excuse for the students to get out of school with no homework for the next lesson. In addition, the special activities can be more fun and unforgettable, like school trips across the country in special sites with very important information and findings.


In conclusion, I can say that each one has a different opinion on the special activities. But, in the end, the result is that we learn new things about us  and about our interests in the special activities.We can discover and explore new environments and subjects in our lives. I think that the special activities can only help us not harm us.
