Cell phones in school are a growing problem. Even I find it hard not to check my cell phone in class when I am not completely interested in the lecture. The article I have provided gives pros and cons of having cell phones in a school. The pros are mainly stating that you can get a hold of your kids at any time of day. However, I do not see the point of this argument. If a parent needed to get a hold of their kids they could call the school and have them get the child from class. The cons outweigh the pros by far. Students forget to turn their phones off during class or decide to respond to text messages, which is distracting for the other students as well as the one texting. Students think they are good at hiding their texting. However, it is more obvious than they think.
