Cellphones in schools and colleges

Should cellphones be allowed in schools and colleges?

Vrij said...
Yep.. they should be allowed in the Campus, but ideally, they shud be SWITCHED OFF in class.

Cell phones should be allowed, but as Vrij said, should not become an object of distraction. I do not understand the need of cell phones at the school level though.

kids concentrate more on studing rather than downloading new ring tines and txt msging.. for me cell phones in school....strictly no

Cellphones in schools... no... the next might be an ipod.. just when the teacher gets that much boring.... :D:D if we continue to allow everything in school, schools will no longer be a place to study.... children are safe enough in schools so the cellphones cannot be a necessity and luxuries should not be allowed at school...

Mobile is no longer a communication gadget. It has some captivating power. School children are really addicted 2 txting. The MMS clips which go on rounds is an alarming issue. Students carry porn with them and take snaps of their female collegues. well.. I am myself addicted to it... And i do carry them in my college . But still I dont lyke the idea of allowing mobile phones in Schools or colleges. School is a place to learn.. and such gadgets can be really distracting. And you come to school for studying, not for showing off your latest gizmo

It should be banned in schools, but colleges its OK, as long as its kept switched off during lectures.

No in schools 1.Frequent usage of Cellphones do have an effect on a child's brain 2.It could lead to a pressure on other children to demand a cellphone from their parents (aah now its not just the latest lunchbox but the latest mobile. Yes in colleges But in college cellphones has to be allowed. There can be restrictions, on the mobile type , eg no camera mobile or that the mobile be put in a vibrating mode. If a 18 year old can vote, and decide the fate of the nation, why cant the 18 year old be trusted with a mobile.

I guess cell phones like children should be neither heard nor seen in schools or colleges . it serves as an easy distraction and a mischief maker to add to the already horribly distracted mind of the kid . But the kid should be allowed to carry it in his bag , switched off ..in case he needs his mom or dad ..

Ji Bilkul bhi nahi.school aur colleges mein cell phones ka kya kaam ???? Vahaan bachche padne jaate hai vaha cell phones ki jarurat hi nahi hai.Hame lagtaa hai aadhe se jyaada bachche essi karan pad bhi nahi paate hai. Hum to puri tarah eske paksha mein hai ki enhe school aur college mein cell phones le jaana puri tarah pratibandhit hona chaahiye.Viase bhi students ke iye ye sub sadhan ubhe shikha se door

keep kids away from something u raise their curiosity and make them go for it yes, all things can't be weighed equally something's HAVE TO BE out of the reach of kids and society(in form of govt) takes care of it but cell phones are useful gadgets, if used properly and with ettiquetes cells should be allowed, after teaching the kids the manners to use it let our kids be responsible by learning responsibility
