   Our Opinions
   Bibligraphy
   Students may text in class.
   Students may text answers using their phone.
   If students leave their cell phones on during
    class and if they receive a call, the others will
    get distracted.
   Cell phones can be used to send rumors of the
    students during class and may be harmful to
    the students.
   “Some boards and administrators prefer to "cave in"
    and change policies --- primarily to avoid parental
    pressures and school-community politics --- we still
    generally advise them not to do so. From an
    educational perspective, cell phones primary present
    another disruption to the educational environment on
    a day-to-day basis.”(www.schoolsecurity.org)
   We're giving kids cell phones way too soon, way too
    young," one mother says.”

    were young so why them.

   Cellphones affect grades because a students
    may not focused as much as they need to be
    and may get many answers wrong.
   Students may get zeros if they are caught
    cheating during a test.
   Students may pass notes during class time
    which distracts them from learning.
   Yes cell phones do affect our health in many
    ways.
   Like when people text or talk late in night they
    are lacking sleep. Which is very bad for kids
    because in order to grow they need plenty of
    sleep.
   Cell phones transmits radiation waves that are
    very harmful.
    Cell phones, because of the radiation
    waves, may cause brain tumors and cancer.
   Parents may simply just take away their child’s
    phone .
   Parents need to teach their children the
    responsibility of having a cell phone.
   If the student fails a paper or another
    subject, parents need to take away their cell
    phone until the student brings their grade back
    up.
   Students may send inappropriate jokes or
    pictures to their contacts.
   Students may prank call people and the
    penalty of that may be of getting a fine of up to
    $200. But if the victim feels threatened you will
    go to jail.
   Students may sell drugs or other stuff and
    those kind of felonies are very serious and they
    will lead up to going to jail.
    Another mother talks of a situation her daughter’s friend is
    having, "this guy got her phone number, doesn't know
    how, could have been through Facebook and it's kind of
    creepy. My daughter Candice told her he's a creepy guy."
    http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/local/042809_C
    ell_Phone_Predators
   “when your kids are in activities after school, speaking of
    predators, I like the fact they can have their phone to call
    you."
    http://www.myfoxboston.com/dpp/news/local/042809_C
    ell_Phone_Predators
   Cell phone predators are getting smarter by the minute and
    it is very dangerous for everybody.
   Please Parents, take care of your children and if you are a
    victim, don’t be afraid to speak up.
   Students may reach their parents immediately
    if there is some sort of accident.
   If a student misses a day of school, a classmate
    may pass their homework by texting.
   A cell phone is a great thing in the life of a busy
    student because they can track all their
    homework and stay in touch with their
    classmates
   My opinion is that cell phones have their ups
    and downs, if the parent teaches us the
    responsibilities and privileges of a cell
    phone, we will be more careful on the choices
    we make on how to use them.
