For my next post I felt that I should write about something that is affecting me on a day to day basis, and that is the usage of cell phones in school. For example in my school, phones can be in your pockets but if they ring or the teacher hears them vibrate then you receive a detention. The only place in the school we are allowed to use them is outside of the school. This would be understandable 10 years ago when game changing smart phones such as the IPhone or the Droid hadn’t come out yet, but now it is ridiculous.
With a modern smart phone you can do so much more than just text, call, and play games. I can check my school email(we’re allowed to on our computers?), I can use it as a comparable calculator or I can look up information much more quickly than ever before. Plus with Apple’s app store there are literally thousands of productivity applications that can do even more.
We want to know what you think so leave a comment letting us know what YOU think the rules should be. And, of course, answer the poll!
This rule is bull shit phones should always be allowed to be used it unfair to allow students to not be able to keep their phones on silent
