The For Argument

1. Technological Advancement - There are countries that allow students to bring phones to school
many years ago. We're lagging behind. It's good to motivate and encourage innovation through
phones. It's a basic need to have a phone nowadays.
2. Safety - Parents/Children need to contact each other easily
3. Schools are there to educate - A good opportunity to educate discipline in students.
4. Cost and long-term benefit for Mama nature - Introduce e-books. Save papers.
5. Gen Y are tech savvy - Since Gen Y peeps are tech savvy, it's good to capitalize on their
strengths.
6. Maturity issues - If this is about maturity (in handling one's own gadget and how they use it),
adults shouldn't be allowed to bring their gadgets to workplace too because they also
Facebook/Call/Text/Do other stuff
The Against Argument
1. Distractions - Games, Texting, INTERNET (with the Internet you can practically do everything
now)
2. Peer Pressure - Less privileged students will feel the pressure when they see all their peers
surrounding them have a (smart)phone.
3. More Work For Teachers (Mostly this is from a teacher's POV) - Teachers would now have more
responsibility to look after students' gadgets and monitor their behavior (ie. don't let them break
the rules/guidelines)
4. Maturity issues - Students are not matured enough to have good self-control and would abuse the
gadgets to other stuffs that are not school-related when in school.
5. Safety - Bullying, Stealing, Robbery, Kidnapping?
6. More Highschool Drama - Video, Pictures, Cyberbullying.. *think Gossip Girl :PThe For Argument
