Effects of mobile phones in studies of high school students
The effects of mobile phones in studies of high school students have been intensely debated. The majority of professors think that using mobile phones in studies are an activity which disturbs the students’ attention from the lesson. Nobody denies the positive effects of mobile phones. We all know that we can use them every time. The student can be contacted any time by his parent and you can contact him in emergency situations. And we all know that in order to be accepted, socially speaking, the student must have a mobile phone as performed as his colleagues and even more if it is possible.
But at high school, there are more negative than positive effects. Students forget to turn off their mobile phones during classes and their sound can be disturbing for their colleagues and teachers. All their attention is headed to the mobile phone that had just ringed. Even if you put it on silence, it can be disturbing. There are many high school students that prefer to do something else instead of listening to the teacher. They rather play some games or even send some messages. There are students who send between them messages, in order not to get bored.
Another negative effect of mobile phones is that students use them to cheat at their exams. They rather go out and not study for their exams, because they can count on their mobile phones. There are many ways of cheating at an exam. One of them is by saving in your massages the solutions of your exam’s questions and then all you have to do is to open the folder with the messages and start copying. Another solution is to copy with the help of a Hands Free. This one is the most used one. It doesn’t require any effort. In order to copy all you must have is a mobile phone, a Hands Free and a friend to dictate you.
Because of these, many high schools have forbidden the usage of mobile phones in High schools. The ones who are cached with a mobile phone are punished by the directory of that particular high school. They can receive different penalties or they can even confiscate their mobile phones. You can bring your cell phone at high school as long as you don’t use it within the limits of the high school.
