Should middle schoolers have cell phones?

Answer 1

Yes, for a few reasons. If they walk home alone or their parents work and they have to go home to an empty house, also because they're getting more mature and alot of kids have cell phones in middle school or are getting one, it's a big deal. 1. In case of an emergency, middle school children can be saved by having a cell phone. 2. If parents have busy schedules or have to work late, children with cell phone would be able to call their parents and let them know where they are and what they are going to do. 3. Phones can give parents communication throughout the day to know children's whereabouts.

Answer 2

he textMax and I are trying to figure out whether should Middle schoolers have a cell phone. I think yes because students can use their cell phones in case of an emergency and need to contact their parents/caretaker. They can also use their cell phone if they need a ride to and from their friend's house students to need to have a cell phone. Some students like to take advantage of their cell phones. Plus you can track their phone just in case they are in danger. T says " You don't have enough time to keep your child occupied all the time".

I think students should not have cell phones because sometimes students like to cheat during their tests. Also if students have their phones they might be on them during class. If students have their phones I think teachers should take them so they student can pay attention in class. Sometimes when students are on their phones 24/7 they get poor grades. The text says " Cellphones can very easily lead to peer pressure". Also, the text says " Due to cyberbullying students might feel unsafe and lead to Suicide".

it is great for students to have a cell phone for a few reasons if they walk home alone or if their parents are at work they can go home also lots of kids have a cell phone in middle school and maybe they want to talk to their friends.
