Are mobile phones useful or harmful objects for students at school? Should they be banned to use at school or allowed? There are so many points of view about this question. Ket us start by considering the facts.

Many people think that phones must be prohibited at school. First of all, if students don't turn off their phones during the lesson and at that moment teacher explains new theme or task or all students do test, of course, all phone sounds such as calls, sound of messages or chart, will irritate other people. What is more even bother or take mind off lesson and teacher's explanation.
Secondly, some pupils have a not good manner like listening to music or playing games on the phone. So such children don't pay attention to teacher. Moreover, it's unlikely they'll get a good mark for their final exam.
Finally, it's not allowed to use calculator on the Maths lesson. Because final exam's rule prohibetes using any gadgets. Besides our modern teenagers lost habit of using their mind solving tasks and got used to use their phones.

But there is different view on this problem and some people don't agree with opinion about uselessness of phones. They consider having phones keeps our children safe in dangerous reality.

I have opposite point of view. To my mind, we didn't have phones in my childhood and our parents couldn't keep us in touch anytime. But using phones during the lesson is brazen inpudence attitude to surrounding people.

So it's up to everybody to decide whether the mobile phones can be permitted or not be made possible at school.
