Topic > The importance of cell phones in the classroom

Students would be on cell phones but it would be their choice to learn or not to learn. This would affect the student and not the teacher's grade. The teacher should not say anything to the student about his phone unless he is making noise with his cell phone. If students chose not to pay attention, it would lead to consequences for their actions. In an online book called Cell Phones in the Classroom: A Practical Guide for Educators, written by Liz Kolb in 2011, it states: "Students had to donate to a local charity to use their cell phones at school." If this continued, students would have to pay every day. This would prevent them from using the phone because students would not want to pay top dollar and spend a lot just to use the cell phone. If the student was caught without paying, he or she would have to pay more money than necessary or spend the day in a detention room. If students were in a classroom and the teacher was teaching, the teacher would not want the students to talk, so they would take out their cell phones and use texting so as not to interrupt the lesson. When in class the teacher wants to teach everything he can to the students, but if the teacher has to stop teaching just to take away a cell phone he wastes time, so the teacher doesn't get that couple of minutes
