We really see no problem about a students having a watch in their wrist trying not being late in their next class. Another, students today is more likely to have cellular phones with them because of communication purposes. Banning electronic gadgets mean does not allowing students to have mobile phones while traveling to and from the school.

If the problem of phones is that it causes distraction, Cell phones are can be put on silence or vibrate if they are on. Students can make it so that their phones will not cause any disruptions during class and they still have access to them if they need it later on during the day. Schools could also make rules to facilitate students with phones to have an educational environment. Taking them away won’t really do anything, in fact it would increase students rebelling and having to hide them from the teacher, because students still bring electronic gadgets in class even when they are not allowed. Control and discipline of students are things that matters with allowing students to bring electronic gadgets on school. Disadvantages would be using them in a wrong way instead of benefiting from them. With this we agree that students should be allowed to bring electronic gadgets on school.
