Is your school considering a ban on cellphones?

What are you going to look at and listen to all day?

Rather than get upset, why not launch your first campaign?

(“We don’t want to grip and moan, get your hands off our cell phone!”)

Today, the school – tomorrow, the world!

Start by gathering convincing reasons to keep cellphones in school.

Even if yours has already banned phones, you can try the following:

First: Convince Your Parents or Guardians.

Here’s just a few points that might persuade the people who love you most to let you keep

that phone where it belongs: with you at school!

Having a cellphone in school will improve your grades!

Now, back that idea up with the following!)

Hours that could be spent getting an early start on your homework.

(Ok, snapchatting, but we’re trying to convince the adults in the room.

It’s hard enough finishing all those assignments before bedtime while juggling your other responsibilities

– taking the dog for a walk, extra-curricular activities, chores.

Using a cellphone, you can turn homework in at the last minute.

You won’t always do that, but tell your parents you want to be graded on what you

(Remind them that when colleges see your transcript, they can’t tell the difference between grades

that mean you left your paper at home and those that mean you weren’t learning.)

You can practice reading and writing as it’ll be in the future.

The methods you learn in school should remain applicable in 20 years when, instead of writing

cursive or hauling around heavy books, we’ll be typing book reports and reading online.

Also, when you leave your cell at home….

Mom sometimes mistakes it for her cellphone and takes it to work.

So, she misses messages from her clients all day and instead gets texts from your friend,

Karen breaking up with Jake is pretty major news, but Mom’s a tad bit more concerned

about staying in touch with her business contacts…

Like a kitten that needs to be petted or a puppy longing to play, your cellphone yearns

It breaks your heart to think of it sitting all alone on the shelf.

Dad could text you when he’s going to be late picking you up.

With a cellphone, instead of waiting in the rain, you could study in the nice, dry library!

Remind your parents how overprotective you are – if you know when to expect Dad, you

You can text Dad if the baseball game you’re playing runs into over-time and extra innings.

You can let Mom know that the lead in the play got sick, so you and the rest of the

cast are being let out of rehearsal early.

Ask your parents if they have any ideas they’d like to contribute.

Next: Convince Your Teachers: using everything you told your parents plus…

(Okay. you’ll need to get all scientific!

Auditory and visual learners can benefit from recording the class on their cellphone.

For that matter, ask anyone before you take pictures or video of them!

But there’s no denying that some kids retain more information by listening to a recording

When a student needs individual help, the rest of the class can watch educational videos.

You won’t pass any more notes in class because you’ll be texting!

Next up: Convince the Administration (you know, the people who run the school) by sharing

some of the above, along with the following arguments…

Having cellphones at school increases student vocabularies by helping them learn cool words

(A deterrent is what stops someone from doing something.

The whole student body will excel in national exams!

Your administration is now officially on board.

And ... phones can help students get out of a jam.

Like that time a substitute teacher had your whole class play “hide and seek,” and

But Jayden couldn’t collect his prize because the door to the closet got jammed!

Jayden yelled and pounded on the door, but—even though the whole class was looking for him—no

Instead of panicking, he calmly texted his friends and shared his location.

Band practice lasts 45 minutes, but when you’re stuck listening to it through a jammed door,

Believe me, if the administration has heard the school band, they feel Jayden’s pain!

Besides that, you can text each other about when the superintendent is coming down the
