Complex
sentence (persuasive essay)
All of parent
can use a cell phone to ask their children about their occupation, or
health. At the same time,
most parents can remember the days when cell phones
simply did not exist, and children were factually left
on their own for at
least half of the day. I stand for not prohibiting cell phones from students’
possession
entirely, since they allow parents to monitor their children’s
safety.
The first reason why cell phones should be
prohibited from use at schools is that they pose a significant
disruption in
the educational process (School Security). Another reason for prohibiting cell
phones in classes
is an increased temptation for students to communicate with
friends instead of focusing on study material.
Once again, the level of
technology allows clever smart phone owners to regularly check their social
network
profiles and browse Internet content.
Though cell phones are necessary for high school
students in terms of their safety, they should still be
prohibited from use
during classes. This concept is founded on several reasons, such as disrupting
the
educational process and facilitating students’ cheating distracting
students by the possibility to access the
Internet, social media, and so on.
