Mobile phones in school should be banned

I admire his generosity that he offered me help. His grammar and style of writing are much better than mien. Introduction: The topic is: Mobile phones in school should be banned. Because Pro is trying to eliminate my 5. and 6. arguments I have to explain the topic here. Term Mobile phones I don't need to explain but preposition "In" yes. Dictionary. com says:In=(used to indicate inclusion within space, a place, or limits):walking in the park. [1]and second word I want to explain here is "school". Macmillan says:School=a place where children go to be taught:It’s the biggest school in the city. Therefore, when topic says "in school" it means that in that building not in classroom. Hence my arguments 5. and 6. are valid. Rebuttals:My Arguments:1. ) CalendarOpponent's argument says that is better to write down examinations after lesson then during them in case you use phone, because drawbacks of abusing them outweigh the advantages. It requires either use assignment book or keep the date of examination in mind. As I presented my arguments in prior round phone is much better than hand calendar. Keeping dates of examination or homework in mind is nonsense because students would forget it for sure. When lesson finish, students have a big pile of things which they want to do. For example move to another classroom, prepare for upcoming lesson etc. The chance that they'll remember to write assignment down is same like they would receive message while teachers is giving out the assignment. The big chance of forgetting the assignment is big. Due to advantages of phones is better to write down dates of examination right in the class to remember all details instead of waiting till students get to their lockers.2. ) Information I must agree with Pro that information should cover students book, teacher as well. But the beauty is hidden in usefulness. Internet especially Wikipedia cover every information which students are seeking. There are science articles written by scientists. Pro claim that Internet sources are unreliable. I assume he thought of Wikipedia. In fact Wikipedia is of the most seriousness and truth sources[2]. However, the advantage of phones over books stands in usefulness. You can get information on test while you eat dinner, while you travel to school etc. I would be fool, if I allowed using phones during examinations. For this purpose there is only student's brain. I believe that electronic devices will replace books.3. ) Playing games or listening to musicAt the beginning listening to music and playing games during lesson are strictly prohibited. We sometimes can listen to music when we are writing some essays or technical texts. As I mentioned music enhance level of study[3]. It is: "Perfect to studying, doing homework or studying for a test or exam. It cuts down on distractions and helps you focus on your work. " So in case you write long passages of text it helps you to concentrate. And this is the biggest advantage of listening to music. Thinking about games as I said above they are banned from lessons which is right. But games helps children to chill out from stress and lessons and help to sort thoughts after lesson.4. ) Calculator In fact, I am an owner of Iphone and I have to say that there is no difference between hand calculator and Iphone calculator. I've brought up some pictures of iphone calculator and typical hand calculator: I see no difference and Iphone calculator appears to be more handy. Furthermore, on these smart phones we can search information as I mentioned above and use them in case of emergency. For the rest of Pro's argument I should answer that is it matter of teacher. Smart phones are good and convenient but it is due to teachers why it is abused. Teacher should establish order in his class. Pro's arguments:1. ) Cellphones distract students from the lessons and 2. ) Cellphones with cameras and/or Internet connection aid students in cheating on exams and quizzesI am pretty glad we both came to same point. The root of problem are teachers not phones. Hence phone shouldn't be banned in school. They are useful on the way to home, in case of emergencies etc. Only one change which we both agreed on is that teacher should improve their strictness and rules. No thinks such as sweater, pen case, books, and bags shouldn't be on the desk during the examination to prevent from phone abusing. This think would help to thrive of right using phones during lesson. Conclusion:I've finished rebuttals. This is all from in this case. I think that phones especially smart phones have good future in education. It's upon teachers to be strict and don't let students to abuse them. Officially I thank my opponent for accepting this challenge I hope he enjoyed it same way like me. I would like to highlight his kindness and generous to help me.
