Why do teachers support the banning of cellphones?
Why does basically ever teacher want phones banned? Honestly coming from an student it's ridiculous. I hate it. I can't communicate with my friends out of school. I can't just look at one youtube video or tiktok video, or send a message to my family on WhatsApp without someone in class or at break shouting "is that a cellular device?!" I Genuinely wonder why you would do that of its something youd do yourself. (However im not one of those kids that use a phone within class) I get so tired of class and not being able to be on my phone for one minute 7 and a half hours a day, that some days I sneak off to the bathroom for 3-7 minutes just so I can actually entertain myself, I don't have many friends, the people I do consider "friends" cant keep a secret and gi behind my back. Pretty sure behind my back they make fun of my personal medical stuff. I have to ask. What if something life or death happens, abit violent of an example, but like a school shooting, or a bomb scare? The school says "they'll tell our families what is happening" but you can't exactly do that when the whole school is hiding or running.
PS: We are called the digital generation for a reason
PS²: This whole time I have kind of meant we should be allowed to use them during break... lol
PS³: I also have to clarify i haven't used one in class, I'm just complaining about those kids becuase they use phones in class themselves lol.
PS⁴: don't forget, since covid we (including somw adults) have all become somewhat chronically online.
