Cellular Phones should be allowed in Schools.
If something happens at school, or you forgot you have an important meeting after school. How do you contact your parents or relatives if any of those things happen and there are no phones in the school near you? Cell phones have been banned from every school all over India. Many people including parents, think that they should be allowed in schools. They can be very useful most of the days............
At most schools they are not allowed. Cell phones in schools can be very useful at many times. They can be used for educational purposes such as : Calculators, Not making and to contact a person who is sick or doesn't get the assignment off of the board. Also, it has been proven that children who listen to music while working can study and do work better. Most every cell phone is able to play music. For that reason children can get work done with a better grade and they won't be talking as much to other Students.
Many times there are emergencies at school and if the power goes out, the phones there may not work. If there is an emergency how would students be able to contact their parents? They could just simply use cell phones to tell parents that they are OK or to ask to be picked up. If students forgot homework, or maybe a big project that was due today, students could just call a parent, or someone else, to come and drop it off. Also, if there was a family emergency students wouldn't want the office to know first!
Many students have sports practice, club meetings, etc. After school. If coach has called off practice how would parents know to come and pick their children up when the school closes? Maybe a student was absent last week and missed a test, they could just call their parents and tell them that they are going to test make up today. If a student was incited to a friend's home, so they could just call his/her parents and ask for permission. Things like this happen every day, so it could be very useful.
Having cell phones in school are very useful. They help students learn and be safe. Why ban them from schools for that reason? The fire alarm goes off, no phones work, call for help with a cell phone. There is no reason to ban them.
