Some people believe that children should be banned from using their phones during the school day. Others believe that children should be allowed to use their phones.
Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Whether schoolchildren should be allowed to use phones at school or not remains a contentious topic. Both these schools of thought hold valid arguments. From my perspective, I genuinely believe that children's phone usage during school time needs to be prohibited. This essay will take both sides into consideration and pen down my verdict.
On the one hand, giving students permission to utilize mobile phones at educational institutions would exert overwhelmingly adverse impacts on their academic performance and social skills. Phones are, in fact, highly addictive as they offer vast resources of entertaining content with relentless notifications from numerous mobile apps. In my class, for instance, despite being mature teenagers, many of my classmates cannot resist the temptation of their phones, frequently using them to watch films and surf social media in class. Consequently, they could be distracted from acquiring insights into knowledge and even fail in exams. Moreover, mobile phones can act as a deterrent to the friendship bond as some children are too addicted that they stick to their phones and refuse to talk to their friends. This would take a toll on their social skills, particularly communication skills.
On the other hand, I hold a strong belief that banning students' phone usage during the school day would do wonders for their scholastic achievements and soft skills. This can be derived from recent research recently conducted by the Ministry of Education and Training in Vietnam. This research indicated that among the Vietnamese schoolchildren who bring their own phones to school, approximately 85% of them spend more than 2 hours using their phones, which nearly halves school time. Therefore, should students be banned from using mobile phones at school, they would have more precious time to allocate to enhancing academic achievements. Moreover, instead of spending endless free hours staring at the digital screen, students could relish their spare time by chatting with their counterparts, which will contribute to sharpening soft skills, thus attaining a well-rounded education.
In conclusion, as for the aforementioned explanations, I concur that children should be banned from using their phones during the school day for the sake of their scholastic performance and social skills.
