Motivating Students To Put Their Phones Away Research Paper

Many teachers ask their students to put their phones away when in the classroom. I see people on their phones in class everyday and even when the teacher asks them to put it away they still dont. I think that putting their phone away should be enforced because it is very disrespectful, distracting, and many people use it to cheat on tests or quizzes.
When the teacher asks a student to put their phone away and they don't I think that it is very disrespectful, because the teachers are their to help teach you, and when they are telling you to put their phone away it takes time out of what they're teaching to talk to you specifically. After the teacher asks them to put their phone away they chose not to because they don't think it is that big of deal to have a phone out when the teacher is talking or trying to teach something. I think that having your phone out in class is not only disrespectful to the the teachers but also to the students around them. It is also very disrespectful and frustrating when other students want to learn what is going on but can't because the teacher is telling them to put their phone away every minute of the class. It also might frustrate the students around them that don't have a Iphone

or Smartphone because they don't get the opportunity like all the other people around them to be on their phone.
Everytime I look around the classroom I see someone on their phone and when a teacher is teaching something, that phone is very distracting and can lessen their learning opportunity.

It could also distract the people around them because if the students are on their phones and they are friends the friend is going to want to know what is going on and that then distracts the student next to them. It would also distract the teacher because the teacher is going to need to stop every few minutes to ask the student to put their phone away. Stopping the class to ask one student to get off their phone not only distracts the teacher but the whole class too. Distraction will lead to lower grades because students are distracted by their phone instead of

learning.
I have seen many students use their phones on tests because the teachers don't see them using their phones to cheat on a test. Students use their phones to cheat on a test and are able to get away with it. They will think that it is okay to use it on all of the other tests, and that will mean they won't pay attention and then they won't learn anything. I think that if a student has their phone out during a test then they will use it as a resource for all of the other tests and that will limit what they are learning in the class. Students should not have to depend on their phones to take a test, they should be learning and understanding what is going on in the class.
In conclusion, phones in the classroom, students should not be able to have their phone out in class. Phones in the classroom are very disrespectful, distracting, and are easily used as a resource on tests. They should not be used in classrooms, because in the end it would just be better to ban them.
