In paragraph 3, it says,”a student is an uninterested student , one with a short attention span who cares more about his or her social life than education.” there is a another connection that reminded me of that i imagine of an high school student doesn’t care about school and she always in her phone while in class and the teacher was feeling interrupted by her texting on her phone and her peers are distracted also, and i feel that if she keeps being on her phone, she will fail the class. This means that students can fail the class because they're too busy on their phones they like to be social a lot because they don't pay attention in class. The solutions to both connected to parents and distractions in class is that students should contact their parents before class started as they started class they should put they cellphones on vibrate or turn off the phone so that the classmates will not be distracted as for the teacher he or she won't be interrupted by students. In conclusion the phone banned on school they can do it in school because the chancellor dont want to bring the students with their phones and they can communicate with their

    Although Kahn is convinced that a cell phone ringing in a class will leave the surrounding students “significantly impair[ed],” one might disagree about the level to which other students even notice (197). Be assured, there have been moments during class discussions where phones have gone off and no other student has noticed. Though I agree with much of what Kahn stands for, I am not persuaded that a ringing phone leaves students with such impairment.

    In the personal narrative, “A Student Asserts That Texting in Class Is Not Disruptive,” author Alex Howard argues that a complete ban of cellphones in the classroom environment should not exist. Howard argues that teachers and instructors are the main cause of disruption, rather than the culprit of texting. Howard brings up the fact that the instructors are the ones stopping class to call out the culprits, rather than the perceived notion that the student texting causes the stoppage in learning (58). He uses personal experiences as a high school student with these rules in place to support his main argument. Howard conducts testing of his hypothesis that teachers only care about the distraction caused by cell phones, and not distraction caused by other activities.
