Charging stations argument for 7 reasons why students should be allowed to have cell phones in class has very good points to his argument, But they can all be backed up with another argument for why they should not be allowed. He states that it can make the student happy. I believe students do not come to school for happiness yet to be happy to learn. It is not fun coming to school but it is not a place for a student to do as one pleases and be happy. All students come to school to learn and set life goals. They cannot do that if the distraction of their phone is in their possession. Charging stations also explains that it teaches responsibility. While that is true, it also causes the student not to be responsible because of the possibilities of the student looking up the answers online or texting a friend to cheat. It is better for the student to learn responsibility by doing their work and studying as much as they can to become more successful in life.
