Personal Devices at School
Firstly I strongly believe that personal devices should be allowed at school. There are many reasons for this. For example, if it is the end of the day and your mum and dad are in traffic or running late then you would need to call them or message them if you are not safe.
Secondly, if you’re in an emergency like a fire at school you would need to call them to help you in case you are by your self going to get a drink, or going to the toilet.
Thirdly, having devices at school allows students to access content that may not be allowed at school. For example, Snapchat is not allowed at school but it could be helpful in case you get lost and you do not know where you are. Snapchat allows you to take a photo of where you are so then your parents can pick you up from that location. Also if you’re on a excursion and your went the opposite way to your class and get lost you might need to Snapchat them so they know were you are. This is a way to keep students safe.
As you can see devices should by definitely allowed at school for the reasons of communicating, emergencies and content access.
