Title:

We banned phones in the classroom and the benefits are obvious

Notes:

• mobile phone ban in class
• important parts of our lives, but not necessary in class
• distract students and waste their time listening music and playing games
• students should be taught to make better decision as they are not mature enough
• argument that music in class helps students concentrate is not proved 
• phone ban makes students more focused on their school work 
• make a balanced policy to make sure students make good use of their phone

Summary:

A mobile phone ban has been implemented in author's school recently. although it is admitted that mobile phones are important parts of our lives, using phone in class is not necessary because students always waste their time on it and are distracted from their school work. The author also mentions that phones are banned because students are not mature enough to make good choices. The argument made by some students that listening to music helps them concentrate is not proved. Meanwhile, phone ban brings certain benefit as students concentrated more in class. the author finishes by pointing out that we should make a balanced policy to make sure students make good use of their phone.

Reflections:

Mobile phone play an important role in everyone's life and it is very hard to get rid of it. While it brings easier communication with people, it also distracts us a lot in our daily life, and it is even harder for children to control the usage of phone in their school. A certain limit is necessary to help students make good use of their phone instead of wasting their time playing with it.
