Recently, it has come to the attention of the New York schooling system that cell phones are popularly used in schools during classes. This leaves the question; Will other states follow? As goes with most problems that spread across the nation (and just anywhere), it takes the single push or action of one for the others to follow. Since New York made it mandatory to restrict cell phones, I wonder what states may follow next. If other states do follow,, what will they do?
In my opinion, cell phones are a great part of school.. only to some degree however. In today's world, cell phones have evolved from only communication via the cell phone provider but also through social media and anything else internet based. Because of the internet access phones have, they become a great advantage for learning methods and whatnot. Not only, as apps also provide outreach to students in teaching, and reminders to do homework or check what the homework may or may not be.
Having said, it is my opinion that school should allow cell phone use to continue with appropriate use, so long as they do not disrupt classes or any other student. They really can be great tools, but unfortunately "WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY"
