Mobile phones have become an integral part of everyday life. From finding the necessary information to keeping in touch with family, all these functions are now performed at the tip of our fingers. However, growing digitalization has raised questions regarding the increased addiction to mobile phones and the honesty of learning when all information is available a click away. Mobile phones have therefore been banned from some schools to the belief that they interrupt the learning process. It is my opinion that this is a necessary step. Mobile phones should not be allowed in schools, especially classrooms as they may distract the children from the lesson in front of them. In case phones are a necessity for the student due to necessary contact with parents, students can be provided with lockers to deposit their devices in during class hours and any emergency messages can be relayed through the management. I believe that it is necessary to keep the electronic devices away from classrooms to help students learn not to rely on their mobiles for everything and learn to trust their own intuition and creativity.
