I believe that students should be able to use technology in classrooms. If a student is going on their phone to check their grades on power school, then they should not be penalized by getting a Saturday detention, or having their phone taken by their teacher. Likewise, if a student is charging their phone and not using it, a teacher should not be able to take it simply because the phone is out.

I agree; only when a student is being disruptive with their phone should it be taken away. This is a very valid point and it is a policy that I feel should be revised. Especially the rule that any teacher can take it away even if you are on a bathroom break and using it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what your saying. although when a teacher is talking or teaching the class I can see it as being rude to not only the teacher but to other students trying to pay attention. Even though they say "its a school rule, you should know better" i dont agree with that, even then everyone deserves a second chance and shouldnt get a saturday for a one time offense. the repeat offenders i do think should recieve a detention but not a 2 hour saturday, in my mind thats a bit ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the rule is unfair. I think that students should be more responsible for their own learning. I think that this goes kind of with tradies. I think that students should be able to pick to pay attention or come in late and not get penalized for their own missing of information. Students that miss should not be aloud to complain about their grades if they aren't doing as well as they hoped in the class. I think that schools baby us too much and that we should pick how much we get out of it. I understand that they can't do that because that would look bad on the school, but I think that I would learn more from my mistakes and get much more done.
ReplyDeleteI use my phone as a planner and to write notes and why cant I use that instead of paper and pencil without penalty. That's like punishing while trying to save a tree. I think that there are many circumstances and the world is progressing fast with technology, so the school should find a better rule or it will be harder for them to keep up with their own rules.
