Should students be allowed to carry mobile phones to school?

Do you want students to lag just because you were reluctant to permit usage of modern-day technology? So, allow students to carry mobile phones to school to help them with academics, give them an incentive to go to school, and help them stay in touch with their family.

Mobile phones help with academics. Students can view educational videos to clear doubts. Apps like Byju’s hone pupils’ skills to make them study better. Students can record the class to view it again.

Mobile phones give students an incentive to go to school. Pupils will go to school readily. They will learn efficiently as they are willing to go to school. They will learn the right way to use technology.

Mobile phones help students stay in touch with family. Using mobile phones, parents can call their children. During emergencies, students can call their guardians for help. They can also call parents for bringing books to school.

Many parents’ concern is that mobile phones distract students. Apps that restrict games and limit screen time can be installed to avoid such problems. People think that bullies will pick on students without a mobile phone, but there can be several other reasons for bullying too.

To conclude, mobile phone usage should be permitted for students, as they help with academics, give students an incentive to go to school, and help them stay in touch with family. Apps that restrict games and limit screen time can be installed to avoid distractions, and mobile phones are not the only reason for bullying.
