Cell phones are interactive, fun and more convenient with children, especially high school students. Of course, traditional teaching methods will not be completely abandoned, but as technology becomes more and more advanced, children of the future will not want this. Most people think that allowing phones in the classroom means free use, but that is not what teachers and students mean. There will be rules about when phone use is appropriate and what you can and cannot do with it. Cell phones can't be blamed for lower grades because you can ban their use in class, but that still doesn't eliminate the thousands of children who sit in class and eat, daydream, or even sleep during class time. If cell phones are a distraction and cause lower grades, then you need to consider all distractions because most of them came before the cell phone and still remain there
