Give me that phone missy said Mrs Halsey.Have you ever got in trouble because of your phone?I have and when I did I realized that our phones distracted us and we don´t need them at school.People can cheat,bully others,and be distracted.You can be distracted easily by waiting for someone to text back or trying to beat your friend in a game.Some people can cheat on there text.For example if they are taking a test.They could get on there phone and look up the answer on google.Students can bully others by sending a picture of them and comparing it to a cow.

I don´t think we need phones at school so some mean students wont bully others or spread rumors. Students could make a group chat in class to spread rumors or bully people at their school.
