Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: yes

O.K, firstly a single person could not cover an entire school, so the idea that using a school phone would be dangerous is outrageous. Not to mention every class room, at least at the schools I've attended, have landlines. So calling from the classroom is also possible.If the shooter is inside the classroom, a cellphone would be just as useless as a land line.You keep coming up with hypothetical situation that are very unlikely. I could counter your "What if they cut the wires to the phone lines?" quite easily with "What if they use a cellphone jammer?" Did your school not have a phone inside the Main Office that you can use if you honestly needed to get in contact with your parents?
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

We do have a phone, but if every kid that stayed late relied on it then it would be full and almost impossible to use.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

Not if you keep it short, like you are suppose to, by saying "Hey Mom/Dad, I'm staying after school, pick me up at [insert time here]." ^--- That call should take less then 10 seconds. Although it would be more difficult then having your own personal lines, the pros of banning cellphones at school completely overwhelm the cons (such as an added distraction, cheating possibility, etc.)
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: yes

Okay. What if they can have them at school, but must keep them in the locker or give them to the teacher when they enter the class?
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: Yes

That's a good idea, I certainly wouldn't mind that. That way it would solve the after school problem of getting in contact with parents, however, I doubt many students would give up their phone.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

That's what the teachers are for. Not only to teach and educate, but to protect the well being of the students. They would have a phone on them or within a usable distance. Phones should be allowed at school, but must be kept in lockers during classes.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

I agree with that. I told someone else that idea as well. The only problem would be stubborn kids that don't give up the phone.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: yes

So you can't even trust the old pager. Come on! It's better for eveyone with a cellphone. That way people can communicate in a outlandish spontanious way.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

Surprisingly Pagers are still banned from schools.Also, how is being able to communicate in an outlandish spontaneous ways helpful in a school environment.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: yes

What matters is the student's will to study and concentrate on what the teacher is saying. Whether the regulations ban it or not doesnt really bring good results. In fact it's kind of restricting and imprisoning young ones for no good.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: yes

Yes, if your done with your work and have extra time in class then i dont see why its a problem.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: yes

FOR SURE. I think if students wanna make good grades and pass they will text when they have time. Students should be allowed to do what they want coming to a certian extinct as in not skipping, fighting, etc. But high school students dont get to do that much during school hours because there so busy trying to do there work and get there credits.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: yes

Cellphones should be allowed in schools as they provide a communication platform where teachers can readily contact a student in case of any matter. It would make a teacher easily be able to check up on students who are absent, reasons they are missing in class, and so forth. Also, as students nowadays are more comfortable with opening up through non face-to-face interaction, staff and/or counsellors can embrace this influx of cellphones in school to try and get the more reserved students to open up in the face of adversity should they need emotional guidance.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

Do you really think the teacher is going to call the student to find out why they are missing class/absent?That's an issue for parents to deal with via the teacher/principal
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: yes

As an individual I strongly believe that phones should be allowed in school as there are more advantages to this , than disadvantages accidents could take place and with a phone you can get in contact with someone for help. IN this age and year adoption is at a rate where any thing can take place anywhere at any time SO. In those situation it would play a very vital role.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: Yes

yes because what if I'm heading home and i cant find my key and i need someone to unlock the door but my phone had been confiscated (which has happened to me before)
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: Yes

Cell phones should be allowed, beacause itès really our parents that have the say wheather or not we should be bringing our cells to school.Recently, my friend got her phone taken away. The teacher that took it went into her sweater pocket and grabbed it! She was pissed.... She said that she had no right ot do that, and she didnt.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: Yes

ell phones get a bad rap in most parts of America. Self-help gurus promise serenity if we turn off our Blackberries, planes ban their use, and public conversation is largely frowned upon in crowded places. This is a marked difference from most parts of the developing world. Why? In America, mobile devices have come to epitomize convenience but are underutilized for valuable information sharing. In the developing world mobiles are obviously still used for conversation and staying in touch, but they also provide an outlet for cheap and long-distance transfer of information that was previously impossible. However, despite their ubiquity, some people are still ignorant of their usefulness.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: Yes

I personally think that students should be allowed cell phones in elementary and high schools and im not just saying that b/c i am in 10th grade i mean all kids should have a cell phone even if it is a trac phone b/c what if someone is following your child to and from school but the school bans students from carrying one what happens if the person that has been following your child stops his car and grabs your kid nd most phones have a tracking device so if your child doesnt have a cell phone how r you going to find out were he/she is? what if someone is trying to jump your child after school nd the school will not let them call you b/c they are supposed to be in class how is your child going to feel safe walking home from school if someone is trying to jump him/her? lets say school gets out early due to a bomb threat nd your child forgot his/her house keys but doesnt have a cell phone to see if u r home nd wat if he/she wants to go to a friends house how r they going to be able to ask you if the school bans cell phones? the answer to these questions is their not that is why students should be allowed cell phones in elementary and high schools
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: Yes

I think it is disrespectful to take others property. If I want my phone at school I will have it regarless. Its a free country , You cant say its a free country for somethings and then all of a sudden change it when it comes to other things. The school/teachers/staff do not pay my bill and its not there property im not saying let us be on our phone but when Im at lunch its my break , I will do as i please !
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

Wow, I feel old writing this, but...Back in my day (LOL), we didn't have cell phones. If my parents needed to get in touch with the school, they would ring the school and leave a message for me. Office staff would pass it on to my teacher, who would pass it on to me. And in cases where they needed to remove me from class (as in the death of my grandfather), they came directly to the school and someone was sent from the office to take me to them. Realistically, this is proper form under all circumstances. The school is subject to duty of care. It can't allow students to go wandering off without direct permission from the parent. There is no situation that I can envisage which requires a child to have access to a cell phone in school.As for outbound, e.g. reporting of emergencies, I have never seen a classroom which wasn't equipped with a phone, although it may be different in other countries. Calls to emergency services can be made from any phone. However, it's advisable to notify the school office of situations which require emergency services, so other actions such as evacuations, fire alarms, and notification of first aid officers can be carried out in an organised fashion.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools

I get it but we are not in the 80s anymore we have to let the kids be more free
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

No..... cellphones is a no no in schools although some students still take it to school even if it is not allowed. Teachers and students can be killed because of this.....
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

I have one word ...Colenbine. Two students came to the school with guns and shot many of there peers and teachers, and then shot them selves. The one thing that saved more kids lives from the guns was that a student was able to call poilce with a CELL PHONE. And how in the world can carrying cellphones in school even come remotly close to killing anybody.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: yes

Killed? Haha someone is exagerating! They could get in trouble, but not killed. Haha this still cracks me up! Teachers and students being killed over cell phones! Never heard of this in my life!
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

KILLED! YES! Students can be killed in school due to the use of cell phones. Cell phones are used in the event of posing bomb threats, gang activity, harassment, and drug activity. Cell phones make it easier for students to contact people that should not be around schools in the event when they are mad at other students or teachers. When people come into schools shooting them up, how do you think they got the GO to do so? Cell Phones! I absolutely feel that cell phones should NOT be allowed in school for the safety of the students, teachers and staff. And so that there isn't another added way for kids to cheat in school!
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

Cell phones add no value to the class room. They serve as a distraction for the students who use them and for their classmates.People for generations went to school without cell phones. When something bad happened the school would be notified and then the student. Life went on.Using the argument that cell phones should be allowed because of something happening to a family member while in school is absurd. What can the kid do about it? What does knowing about the emergency change? Unless the kid has a car at school or takes public transit then there is nothing they can do. I think that cell phones should be banned and cell phone jammers should be used in schools (and in movie theaters) for those who don't comply and try to use them anyway.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

No. See, the issue here is that people will bring cell phones weather they're allowed or not, but if they are specifically allowed then that's basically giving students the green light to text in class, ect. The best thing to do is probably to not allow cell phones but to sort of turn a blind eye to kids doing harmless things like checking the time. There's a balance.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

In life distractions are bad. Like girls and boys have always been distracted with each other. Teachers do not need another thing to worry about. So no to the question
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

Cell phones distract pupils from studying process. Cell phones distract not only owners but other pupils too and that is wrong. So every classroom should be equipped with special cell phone jammer to prevent the usage of cell phones.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

students already bring cellphones to the skool... whether they r allowed or not!!! bt if cellphones r allowed in skools where will b the fun of breaking rules!!!
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

the tread of keeping a cellphone was not present 1-2 years ago.Now a days, having a cellphone is like a status symbol,everyone wants to flaunt about which model/company cellphone they carry. What is the use of cellphone in school????if there is an emergency schools provides phone to use in such situations. In fact carrying a cellphone, will only distract the students,they will pay less attention in class thus not utilizing the school time for improving themselves.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

You usually arn't allowed to talk or pass notes in class.. so how the heck is texting different? I think you should be allowed to have a phone in case of an emergency. But you shouldn't be allowed to text your friends in class.
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

School is a place for children to be learning and interacting with friends. Cellphones distract students from paying attention to teachers and schoolwork lowering their grades. Why does a child need a cellphone anyway?
Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

To my point of view, cellphones should be allowed in schools. There are several reasons to it. First, distraction. Children attend school to learn something not to play games when they are bored. They will chat during the lesson, if they have a cellphone with them. Second, cheating. they will cheat the answers to the test from the Internet. Third, of course cellphones are react to the health. it is harmful to the health, radiation. in conclusion, i think children should study at school, if they bring with them cellphones they will concentrate only on phone, play games , chatting with friends and so on. Just they should leave it home.

Debate: Should cellphones be allowed in schools
Side: No

I think no because what if kids cheated on a test or if a student is playing on a game or are texting or being on websites and if they're not listening then they might flunk the grade or classes.And even if you forget something at school you don't have to call on your phone you can just use the offices.
Debate: It is easier to maintain good relationships in social networking sites such as Facebook.
Side: yes

One of the biggest obstacles using face to face communication to keeping friendships going is time. It takes time to email, to call, to make plans, to send holiday cards, to remember birthdays. Everything you do to maintain good relationships needs time. However, when you are too busy, you can just log in to social networking sites and chat. This is easier as when you are doing work. When you are using the internet, you can just switch browser to inform work or notice to the receiver.Vivien, Ruyan, Yu Ling, Clarissa (Proposition) 2e2;D
Debate: It is easier to maintain good relationships in social networking sites such as Facebook.
Side: No

Yes, taking the time off to call or e-mail the recipient is also good enough but won't the receiver feel a little dissapointed? For example your mother's birthday. You should traitionally make time for it every year so that you can celebrate it. Your mother will feel touched and love you even more every year. Would a 10 second call to your mother to say "Happy Birthday Mum! I love you!" be the same a simple 3 hour appearance for your mother on her special day?

Side: No

•Social networking sites entice people to spend more time online and less time interacting face-to-face. •The sites offer many time wasting activities that supplant more productive activities. Teens spend an average of4 to 6 hours hours per week on social networking sites.In the study, which randomly selected more than 24,000 undergraduate students from 14 Minnesota colleges, 30 percent of students reported “excessive screen time” in front of their TV or computer. Students who reported screen time as a problem had an average GPA of 3.04, compared to 3.27 for students who said they don't struggle with too much screen time."

Side: yes

• People can meet foreign friends on social network to interact with their friends. We are living in a fast pace world so social network helps to enhance relationship. • Will it Neglect your own social life? It is easier to communicate online and you can chat on video so it is not really neglecting your own social life. If you were to have a face to face context, you will have to meet each other very frequently to maintain this relationship. Worst if you have hectic lifestyle, you will not have time to meet up with your friends. Does this mean that you cannot maintain your relationship? With face book as a tool to communicate, you can save time and money but most importantly, you can maintain your relationship. • How to maintain relationship with those who don’t have face book account? We argue that it is easier to maintain relationship online but we didn’t say that we can’t meet people face to face. We have other device like handphone and software like Skype. You can easily contact with those people who doesn’t have a social network account.• Does this mean that we can don’t meet people?Again, we made our points very clear that it is easier to maintain relationship online and not don’t see your friends at all. You can meet up with your friends once in a while but you can’t possibly meet them every day so facebook is really a good tool to maintain a relationship

Side: yes

Overall, Americans have more close friends than they did two years ago. We found that the average American has just over two discussion confidants (2.16). This is a modest, but significantly larger number than the average of 1.93 core ties reported when we asked this same question in 2008 [6]. Similarly, 9% of Americans reported that they had no one with whom they could discuss important matters; significantly less than the 12% of Americans who told us in 2008 that they had no one with whom they could discuss important matters. In addition to fewer people being socially isolated, more people reported having more than two confidants than was reported in 2008. On average, one in five Americans added a new close social tie over the past two years (see Appendix B, Table B3, for a detailed table).Social networking sites are increasingly used to maintain contact with close social ties While most people tend to have a very small core network of close social ties, a large segment of users maintain these ties using social networking services. Fully 40% of social networking site users have friended all of their core discussion confidants. This is an increase from 29% in 2008.

It will be more expensive to travel around the world just to payyoue friends a visit if you are from another country, so it's easier to keep in contact with them on facebook and ohter social networking sites.

Side: No

Why do you need to travel around the world? With advances in today's technology, you can use a webcam or a 3G phone to see and talk to people overseas. If you subscribe to a line, it could as well be free. It is almost the same as meeting them in person, but saving lots of money at the same time.
Debate: It is easier to maintain good relationships in social networking sites such as Facebook.
Side: yes

When you are on line it's not so awkward with a person that you have never met before. As, when you are making new friends, you weren't know what to say to them as they might think that you are a weirdo or even you may unintentionally offend them. On online you may treat them as your best friends as you will be able to avoid their face and the communication between you two will not be so awkward. The important point is that you can take much longer time to think what to say or replyClass: 2E2 Clarisa Sim, Vivien Lai, Sin Yuling, Goh Ru Yan

•The arguments are responded as; firstly meeting new people online is a bad choice due to the risk of identifying stranger’s real role. •Secondly, knowing online friends is not the same as real friend in reality. •Thirdly, social networking sites may lead to break downs of existing relationships.•Every pro side can turn into con side; it depends on how user participates in the online activities. •The attitudes they react, the manners they have, the purposes they intend to, all those can form and result in a very different answers in real-life. •In a meaningful conclusion, there are no clear guidelines to determine whether pros or cons sides are on the best beneficial to users. Therefore, virtual communities and social networks do not only enhance but also destroy people’s relationships in real-life

Side: No

If you are don't even want to speak to someone in person, then what is the point of maintaining a good relationship online? You are missing the human element. When you keep a good relationship online but don't even acknowledging them face to face, then you might as well be strangers. How is that maintaining a good relationship? Maintaining a good relationship is being able to talk to the person as if you've known them forever and not acting like strangers.
