　　Having a cell phone on hand enables a
student to ask for help quickly in an emergen-
cy. Violent attacks, fires and thefts on campus
can be reported quickly and then be dispatched
by the appropriate authorities.
　　Many of the smart phones have programs
that are similar to what are found in a laptop or
desktop computer. Therefore, it makes it pos-
sible for students to look for information on the
Internet through the smart phones. If a student
needs assistance with class work and does not
have access to a computer, a smart phone can
be used in a snap.
　　Most cell phones have a camera these
days, so students can use it to take pictures of
things taught in class. This is much more ef-
fective than taking notes by pen. 		　　There is nothing about cell phones that's
not distracting. The ring of a cell phone dis-
tracts teachers and other students. When
students have cell phones with them, they
might be playing games instead of doing
school work or research.
　　Theft can be a huge problem with cell
phones. You might leave your cell phone
somewhere it could get stolen. A cell phone is
tempting to a thief.
　　The potential for cheating has grown ex-
ponentially. Some students can subtly look up
the answers to test questions using search en-
gines such as Google or online encyclopedias
through the cell phones.
【正确答案】[高分范文]
   Cell phones are of great convenience in our life However, there are arguments about whether or not they should be used in schools Some say that to forbid cell phones completely is to ignore some of the educational advantages of having cell phones in the classroom Cell phones contribute a lot to students' learning. They are great memory aids because if students are slow to copy notes from the board, they can take pictures of the missed notes instead and view them later with their cell phones Besides. they can keep students safer by allowing them to ask for help during an emergency.
   However, others claim that cell phones pose a disruption to the educational environment. Students cannot fully benefit from classroom instruction if they are distracted by incoming text messages and vibrations from incoming calls. And using cell phones for cheating is also a big concern On top of that, allowing cell phones in schools increases the risk of theft.
   Despite the positive effects that can emerge from permitting students to bring their cell phones into the classroom, cell phones, in my opinion, should be banned in class to help keep annoyances and distractions to a minimum since some of the students still have trouble taking responsibility for their own behavior.
