Predisposition on The Use of Cellphones in School

 The Benefits of Letting Students Use Their Cell Phones During School Hours

A student using his cellphone
Cell phones are not allowed in most high schools. The policy regarding cell phones differs in most schools. Some schools do not allow students to use their cell phone at any point during the day, whether or not they are in school hours. Some schools allow students to use their phones before and after school, but once the school day has begun, they are not allowed out. Some schools allow cell phones to be used during lunchtime and in between classes.
Most teachers will most likely tell you that there is nothing positive about students using their cell phones during class time, and most people would agree, using the cell phones when they are not in class is completely different. There can be good that can come of students being allowed to use their cell phones during school hours, of course, they will most likely never be able to use them during class time.
Parents can keep in touch with their children during school. Sending them a text message or leaving them a voice mail when they need to tell them something that cannot wait until the end of the school day. Students can also contact their parents when they have forgotten something at home or have forgotten to tell them something. Students can also reach their friends to ask them a question about the homework if they missed an assignment or if they need notes.
In case there is an emergency (such as a school shooting), which everyone hopes will never happen at their child's school, a parent can easily be reached. Students with cell phones can reach their parents easily if something goes wrong at school, instead of all lining up to use the same phone, which could take hours depending on how many students there are. If there is an emergency, it is very important that students be able to reach a parent to let them know what is happening.
If a student has a medical problem, they can reach their parents if they do not want to go to the school nurse. If the student is in a position where they cannot get help from someone at school, they have their phone to contact the appropriate people such as the police or the hospital.
Cell phones are can be put on silence or vibrate if they are on, which does not cause a distraction if they are to ring. Students can make it so that their phones will not cause any disruptions during class and they still have access to them if they need it later on during the day. If the cell phone does not make any noise and the student is not using them during class time, there is no problem.
A cell phone is a very useful thing for someone to have. There are many benefits to having cell phones in schools, as long as the cell phones are not being used when students are in their classes. If students are at lunch or they are in between classes, the cell phone does not disrupt people who are trying to learn, and should not be a problem to anyone else.

My Ballpen Me

                                                                    My Ballpen Me
      A brief comparison of an individual's life is sometimes analogize to a thing. For me, I chose the object ballpen as my mirror to who really I am. There are many types of ballpen but I rather be specific to what kind of ballpen is me. I would be a ballpoint ballpen because it writes finely and satisfactorily. Although it is an expensive pen it is optimal for me because of its beautiful performance. Just like me, eventhough I was a very spoiled child I assure to my parents that I will do good in studying and others.

      A ballpen, on the other hand, has also many features. On the physical aspect, it is tall and thick. Just like me, I have a stretched and a moderately-managed body. The pen has also a black ink. This ink represents my life. Others say that black is evil, infernal, and wicked. But for me, I consider black as exquisite, fair, and ravishing. It has also a cover. The cover serpents the solutions to all my problems. We all know that life is mysterious and unpredictable, as I go on writing my life there are obstacles that may stop me on writing. That's why there is a cover to veil of from these obstacles.

      The very reason why I compared myself to a ballpen is that without the owner the pen is useless. Just like me, without someone to guide me, I might become a wild and uncontrolled person. The owner of my ballpen are my parents. I thanked them because they are there to guide, love, and adulate me. Thank you Ma Daday and Pa Ramon for the ballpen you gave to me. I also want to acknowledge my Godfather who is always there to give me some pieces of advice, Ninong Erwin. Above all, I thanked God for His grace and unending love towards the ballpen of humanity. Thank you for the life you gave to me.
