Why We Should Be Allowed To Use Your Phone During School Times

Today I have to post a blog post about my speech. For writing, we have to do persuasive writing, we all in our class had to choose a topic and write about that topic. My topic was my years 7's and up should be allowed to use their phones during school times. This Hurumanu is linked with the art stuff that we do in Hurumanu 4. The whole class has to do a speech at least less than 2 minutes. My favourite part was writing my speech. My least favourite part was nothing.

Here is my speech:

Have you ever thought about your phone during school time and having so many notifications and you want to check them all and you think “should I sneak on my phone and not listen to the school rules?” Hello, I’m Riansha today I’m going to talk to you about why students should be allowed to use phones during school times.     (Natural Pause) 

The reason why we are not allowed to use cell phones is that because students get distracted. Because if someone uses their phone in a class all the other students get distracted and don’t listen to the teacher, and they end up having to get a bad grade.  (Natural Pause) I think we year 7’s and up should be allowed to use their cell phones during class, in my opinion, is because we need our phones to tell our parents if there is an emergency, or if you forget something you can contact someone using your phone.    (Natural Pause)

  

For girls when we get our periods we need to tell our parents because we can trust them the most, and we get scared and don’t know what to do, but we can also trust our teachers but we might not all feel comfortable telling them. I think we should be allowed to use phones for if something serious happens at school and we need to contact someone.  (Natural Pause)

In conclusion, I think students should be allowed to use their phones in class, but only a limit for each year level. Think about your decision if you use your phone during school times. Ask a teacher if you are unsure if you can use your cell phone during school, or think about the other people around when you use your phone. Thank you, everyone, for listening.
