               Almost all children now have their cell phone to use for different reasons. Their parents seem likely to allow their children to use a phone at a young age. Some children are using their phones to play games more than talk or play games outdoors. Nowadays, people is also considering thinking about using their phones in class. Some people say “yes”, and some people say “no”. In my opinion, schools should allow students to use their phones in classes because the phone it will help them study and will help them reach their emergency contact when there is an emergency.

            Today, the growth of technology is so fast and very helpful for everybody. An important technological tool is the smartphone, the smartphone that have been designed with many tools on the phone. The student can use the internet to look up information about their lesson on the smart phones. The student can use the phone to help for studying, which especially some course like science classes or physic classes all the teachers may not really have enough information to supplement for a chapter. Sometimes the professor write many notices on the board during in class, but students do not have enough time to write down on their notes, their students can use the phones to take the picture to save and write them down later. An example, student can use the tools on the phone by some apps, the research to help student do the assignment in class; or some classes of the second language can use the phone by the dictionary to help them to know the new vocabulary words during class. All of those students should have a phone during classroom.                  

            The other reason students why should allow students use the phone in class because people can use the phone to keep contact with families. Nobody can know what will happen about their health or something else, so some students use the phone to stay in touch with their contacts to protect them in an emergency. For example, students can use the phone when they are sick in class at school and call the families to come to pick up them, another example is some students get a stroke in class so that another student in class can use the phone to call 911 to help the student. Alternatively, some students sometimes forgot their important assignment or homework have due on the day, but they cannot get home to have that so that student can call their parent to bring the paper for students. Moreover, the important is some students have been living with their parent but the parent needs always keep track with them because their parent live along at home and they doesn’t speak English, so they really keep contact with their student to protect themselves. Another important of the phone is the families can use the phone to keep track their children, because on the smart phone right now their family can use some app on their phone to know where their children at and can know they are at school or not.

            Some people argue that students should not use their phones during classes. Clearly, they believe that students may use their phones to cheat, to find distractions, and focus too much on the game or some social media website without studying. However, these arguments are simply may not true. While it is true that students can use the phone in classroom to cheat, to find distractions, or to focus too much on the games, they need their phones to research information. Their professors can watch students to make sure they  control what students do on their phones in class and stop them if they do something wrong in class.

In conclusion, the phones can be the good tools to help students to study and help to do an emergency call. In my opinion, people should strongly allow students to use the phone in class. Using the phone in class can help students research the information about their lesson for studying in class or help protect themselves when students need an emergency like stroke and call 911.
