Mobile phones at school(opinion essay)

      Nowadays more and more students bring their mobile phones to school.
While I believe that students should carry mobile phones in case of an emergency, I am strongly
opposed to phones being used at school, particularly in the classroom.

    Firstly, many students travel to and from school without their parents. Therefore, it is
important for them to have a mobile phone in case they need help or have an accident on the way
to school or home.

    Furthermore, parents who work may need to contact their children. For
example, if a parent has to work late, the student has to be told if arrangements have been made
for a relative or neighbour to look after them.

   On the other hand, nothing is more disruptive during a lesson than the sound of a mobile phone
ringing or playing an annoying tune. Moreover, students who send and receive text messages in
class are not paying attention to the lesson.

   In conclusion, I feel that students should be allowed to take mobile phones to school for use in
an emergency. However, all phones should certainly be turned off during lessons.
