Hi,
Students can have mobile phone to communicate with their friends regarding academics or for chit chatting. But make sure that they don't use it for longer time. Try to provide the students with basic mobile set and not smartphones

No, it is not good for students to use cell phones while still being in school.
It is not good for their career.

Advantages :
Students can contact their parents in time of emergency. Also cell phones play a good role for their safety.

Disadvantages :
Students waste their time by surfing social media sites and unwanted chatting. This leads to wastage of time and focus.

Students should be given only cellphones without internet facility.
Students can only use the phone for calling and contacting their parents not for wasting their time on social media and all.

No, we can't stop them using it but we can teach them how to use it. We can teach them the advantage and disadvantages.

We cannot say that using cell phones is completely good or bad. It depends upon the way or behaviour the person uses cell phone. Using Cell Phone for browsing education related things, concepts, general knowledge, current affairs, etc. is very useful and at the same time, if we use it in bad way, we are going to spoil a lot. So, I say that whether to use cell phone in a good way or bad way depends upon the individual behaviour.

No, it is not a good habit for school students to use cell phone while being in school. It will distract them from their studies as the use of cell phone to them in this age is harmful. Students should not be allowed from the parents to take cell phones along with them in school. After school hours it is somehow good to use cell phones as it is nowadays a mostly required gadget.

Students must be in discipline in and out of the school which is necessary for improvement and progress in any field of life.
Discipline plays a important role in everybody's life.
Using cell phone in school is not considered as a good for students as it distracts the students from study.
Students need to be concentrated at the time of study .
But, using of cell phone at early age make the students addicted of cell phones which results in loss of concentration.
At early age students must spend more and more time with books and also students must play outdoor sports .

So, it will be better to stay away from cell phone as much as possible.Knowledge of using cell phone,computer,video games in necessary but students have to use in limited way so that they stay away from addiction of these things as addiction will surely hampers your growth and development .

See everything has pros and cons in the present world. There are some advantages as well as disadvantages of students carrying cell phones in school. As far as my opinion is concerned, upto standard 10+2, mobiles should be banned as it provides lots of distractions and student may not be able to concentrate in studies while lecture is delivered by teacher.

We are in the era of smartphones, so many applications for social networking like Facebook and Whatsapp, candidates may get engaged in these thing even in ongoing lecture. After 10+2 , students should be allowed to increase the horizon of knowledge through smartphones.

Smartphones are good resources for knowledge but over reliance on it can cause digital amnesia.

As the technology advances, the electronic gadgets are very close to humans irrespective of age. If a child uses a mobile there is nothing wrong in it. As the smartphones are very useful for purpose of e-learning. Beside that one can download any app regarding education and learn easy method of solving mathematical problems.

It all depends on one's own individual thinking either to use or misuse it. One must take proper care while offering mobiles to children.

Literally, it is good if child is using and operating smartphone for learning purpose. Also there were many mind games available which enhances and improves memory of the child.

I don't think reputed schools will allow students to use cellphone in the classroom. Many schools don't allow it and it can be a distraction for students whose concentration should be one classroom.

I think most of the school allow tablets which doesn't have calling facility just for learning purpose. These days there are many good tutorials online for various topics which can help them.

No, it is not good at all to use cell phones during school hours as it will distract their attentions from studies to a greater extent, and seeing today's generation students are much prone to mobile phones than studies.

Therefore, it is advisable to students to and not to use cell phones during school hours.

so it depends on you how take benifites of that .

No doubt that cell phones are really helpful now days as vast knowledge is there in internet but only 10_20% students make the best use of it..other just make fun and use facebook , whats app, play games etc. I think up to 12th a student should not use cell phones because up to 12th they have to make their base strong and if they indulge in playing games and searching unnecessarily non valuable things than that can be fatal for their future.. Moreover if a student lives away for study purpose from their family members that it is a necessity.
