Okay I don't know if this fits as an article but I would like to hear your opinions. For grammar we have to write a persuasive paper and mine is about "Should cell phones be allowed in school?" I don't know if they should or shouldn't even though I bring mines to shool every day. So do you think they should or shouldn't? Why and why not? Thanks for all your help.

Mobile phones (the British word for cellphones) SHOULD be allowed in class, but for emergencies only - well, in high school, which over here is different to your version of high school, it's called grammar school by "upper-class" people.

In college/university they are slightly laxer about standards concerning them, it is at the discretion of the lecturer concerned.

In a word, yes, they should

Well, i'm assuming your writing 'for' and not 'against', but even so I think mobiles should be allowed, but as ArmyMedic said, switched off (or on silent ) in class. Parents and friends may need to get in touch with them during school and vice versa. Though one thing I did hate about other people using their phones in school was when they played music so everyone near heard...Annoying!

ArmyMedic agony auntYes they should be allowed, but turned off in class. Mobile phones are part of modern society and a very useful tool, but also very distracting in lessons.

I also think teacher should have the right to confiscate phones from anyone using it in class as it is a major distraction.
