The ubiquitous mobile phone. One can't imagine life without it now. Although there are a few Luddites and non-conformists, most would agree it is a godsend. Some would even go to the extent of saying it's the best thing since sliced bread. While the Karnataka health minister argues that it is a health hazard, the education minister feels cellphones are the root of all distractions. He has even gone a step further and banned it for Plus 2 students on campus.
There have been umpteen claims of the ill-effects of the use of cellphones like impotency, brain damage, effects on the heart and so on. However, none of these claims have been empirically proven. So, it would seem for Basavaraj S Horatti and R Ashok. They want to ban cellphones for kids under 16, but the question is: how?
Cracking the whip on parents too is stretching it a bit far as most of them want their wards to own a cellphone. Its convenience outweighs the perceived risks, they feel.
Is the ban on school children using cellphones justified?
(Debate by TOI)​
 
Mobile phones is an indispensable ones in today's world.But there is no point for a school children to use a mobile phone.They can live w/o it.Indeed mobiles are gng to hinder his/her studies.So its better to put a ban for their use till we find a good point for them to use it.
 
see.........everthing has its good quality and bad quality....same as mobiles.....if it is used in right sense then......its like a boon.......
i am totally against the decision of karnataka govt on banning of mobiles for plus 2 students.........ban on school students using mobiles is pretty justified......not becoz of impotency,brain damage and thinks like that....they really don't have the use of it in schools.......and they r not mature enough to use it in a right way.........
 
The question that should be asked is why does a school child need a cellphone?
Many Mothers protested and said that this ban is unjust.Because either the childs father is not there or he is abroad,in this case the mother wants to keep a track of the child,in case of emergency or for any other reason.People opposed this fact and said the child is always safe in school, so for that they said that after school the childs responsibility belongs to them to keep a track and know about their whereabouts.
So i feel the ban should not be for everyone but certain students should be allowed if their parents gives an application with a good hardcore reason.
 
well definitely it is justified bcoz....

1)school kids' journey is mainly frm home to school and fro ....and to classes tooo.....and the entire journey is in the known area both to the students and parents.......

2)use of mobiles in class will distract other students tooo....

3)with the advancement of technology,,, early exposure to such technology will hav an incline to things not desirable for school kids....

4)and in special cases the mobile phone should be handed over to principal b4 entering the school premises and can collect back after the hours of school....ofcourse with a proper documentation of the reason for carrying mobile phone.....

This is what I feel.................:SugarwareZ-098:
 
for any student, going from home to school may not remain the same always. every student doesn't take school buses. some walk or the rest choose their own routes. we have all heard about what students have done out of desperation. and who is the government to decide on 'How a students environment should be'. if the principals or board member of a school feel necessary, they would have implemented this rule themselves. i do agree that cellphone should not be allowed in class. but banning it from a students needs in the campus sounds ridiculous. let the principals take an initiative on their own.

tomorrow the govt 'll even start making domestic rules. cells r a necessity to keep in touch. being connected to your loved-ones might someway or the other prevent some student from taking a drastic step.

handing over cells to principals is simply a wastage of time, for students makng another line to collect their cells. let the discipline of school and control by parents work things out
 
hi frens...

i think banning is nt the solution...it leads to such kinds of negative creativity tht is hard to cope up with...n problem becomes even worse..
Of course allowing it wud be even serious breach of discipline as schools r place fr study. n no disturbance shud be tolerated..


so considering all things..i feel its the children themselves who must decide..n they shud be taught wht school is all about...wht r the uses of cell phones...let them decide..let them be responsible and accountable fr whtever they do ...and make them realize the importance of cell phone n also of studyz...i m sure todays generations is too smart fr all this...they r our future...

tc
luv ya all
 
Definately it should ban, as having mobile phone dont help them by any means... Excess of any thing is never good including technology...
 
Every1 is thinkin on a -VE NOTE, also think positive ...Think both sides of a coin while analysing a debate
 
hey friends i dont think that the government or the school peoples should implement any sort of rules on any student..........
this could be done by the respective parents.........
sometimes it is important for the students to carry a mobile as when the parents are working, the parents wants to know where he/she is........ or any other possible reason........
so i think that the parents should be given the right to choose upon..........

what do you say on this??
 
students as such they are not matured enough to use mobiles.they get distracted easily from their studies.since school life plays major role in deciding ones carrer it is advisable for the students not to use moblie phones.
 
I'm not one to complain about the existence of cellphones. A cellphone is a most useful tool, indeed. However, for kids under 16, what do they need a cell phone for besides idle chit chat? Their parents provide their every need!

It's disrespectful to teachers and the school itself, IMHO. I don't blame them for banning cell phones.
 
It is justified to ban on school children using cellphones .school students doesnt need cell phone at all
