Abusing The Use of English

ABUSING THE USE OF ENGLISH:
The constant use of text messages on the mobile phone,

contributes to the poor usage of proper English by secondary
student, evaluating the present performance of secondary
school student on English is poor since the usage of mobile
phone and these need to be critically looked into.
Cell phones can be a distraction in the classroom. Students

whose minds wander during a lecture or discussion may find
the temptation of texting instead of listening hard to resist.
They are also potentially a distraction to the class if the
student forgets to set their phone to vibrate rather than ring
during calls. Even the vibration can be distracting, and it does
not take much for a teacher to lose their momentum.
.Besides, picture phones and other applications such as

calculator in particular can be used to cheat on tests and
quizzes. Take a picture of the test, send it to your buddy, and
get a text back with the answer. Or send it to someone who
wants to know what's on the test. The calculator function can
be used to cheat on math tests. The risk of potential cheating
on academics is one of the main reasons why students are not
allowed to bring handphone in school.
Cell phones allow students to communicate not just with

students in other classes, but also other schools and even
adults that are not in the school environment. There is the
potential for social disagreements, and even communication
with an adult who is not approved by parents. It can lead to
students having episodes of being upset while a teacher is
trying to conduct lessons. Banning cell phones won't eliminate
social break ups or disagreements, but it can reduce
opportunities for these kinds of issues.
Some students like to create bomb threats by calling
emergency numbers on their phones. They may try it in
restrooms when no one is nearby. They might do so between
classes. Which means, that will put a delay for all the classes
at school, before an emergency team arrives. Once the
students are accused for the threat, they could get arrested
and suspended.
Theft
Allowing cell phones in schools invites the risk

of theft. Many cell phones, and especially
smartphones, can be particularly appealing
targets to criminals who can remove or extract
user data and then resell the phones. Keeping
students' phones out of the school eliminates
the risk of theft, and prevents the need for
costly replacement of the phones.
the negative side for bringing hand phone at school
is it can increase the crime in the school. Because
some students will bring an expensive hand phone
and it can invite the thieves to steal their hand
phone.
Example of hortatory text about cellphone
No phone sign – Should you bring to school?
Recently most people own mobile phone. Why
does mobile phone user increase dramatically
in recent years? First, the feature and functions
has increased. Mobile phone is not used just for
calling, but sending text, taking pictures,
recording videos, accessing internet, playing
games and much more. Second, mobile phone
has also become a lot cheaper. Now this
communication device does not only fill the
pocket of adult but also teenager and student.
Even a lot phones are intentionally designed to
teenaged market. However should they be
allowed to bring them to school?
Many schools do not allow students to bring cell
phones to school. It is very reasonable because
bringing phone to school potentially disrupts the
learning process. Most students use cell
phones irresponsibly. They use cell phones to
talk to their friend during class time. They also
use the calculator and camera features in the
class as well. Those potentially lead less
concentration in the time of learning and
teaching process.
Students go to school to learn and behave fair
way. Mobile phones provide a large temptation
to cheat in tests. They can communicate to
anyone and almost anywhere in the world.
Because of the small size of the cell phone,
students can send a text quietly and discreetly.
The text can go unnoticed anywhere to get help
on answering tests, homework, and other class
assignment. Learning in school is to behave fair
not cheating.
Therefore, schools should ban students from
bringing their cell phones. However it should be
done fairly. In case of an emergency some
student need a call for help, providing easy
access to phone is better.
