For a part of my exam I have to answer the question "Should smartphones be allowed in the classrooms?". Below is my answer.
Many people think that cellphones should be allowed in classes. The smartphone is still a cellphone, the difference is that you can connect to the WiFi. My opinion is that they should not be allowed in classrooms. They are still a cell phone.
I have a few reasons to think this. My first reason is that the during a test you would be able to look the answer up on the internet, you wouldn't have to actually learn to get the answer correct. Another reason is that it is still a cell phone. Teachers are trying to stop the texting in class, with the smartphones allowed in the classroom the student would continue to text during class and the teacher wouldn't know if they were actually texting or just using the WiFi. My last reason why is because students could go onto the WiFi and just use another person's work and pass it as their own.
In conclusion, I do not think that smartphones should be allowed in the classrooms. Students would not learn, they would playgerise, and they would still text in class. Those are the reasons on why I think this.
