Cell Phones in Class

Having cell phones in class had been somewhat of a new uprising issue of the 21^st century. With new technology being thrown in our faces from every direction it is hard to stay off of our phones. They are a distraction in class because it takes our attention away from the teacher and onto the device. The teachers like technology just as much as us but they also want us to do well in their classes. If the teacher really cares about their students they do set in those cell phone rules because they want the pupils to succeed in school. Others who don’t implement these rules think that we have enough self-control and responsibility to stay off them during important times during the period. I personally prefer the teachers who say that the phones need to be put away while they are teaching but can have them out during work time.  Each student is different and we each need different restraints for us to perform at a higher level.
