Cellphone writing by Nathan

Cellphone should be allowed at school. I think that cellphones should not be allowed at school. Here are three reasons why I think this. They are A. You could lose it B. you could forget about it And C. You could put it in your bag and leave the zip undone. Someone could see it and steal it.

Children could put their phone down and they could get distracted and move away from their desk. When they come back they might have forgotten where they put it. This is not good because someone could steal it. Another bad thing is if it gets lost that's money down the drain. 

A child could be playing with a friend and their phone could fall out of their pocket without them knowing. If you leave your phone at school someone could ring you when a burglar is in the classroom and if you didn't have a password it they could take it. If you left it at school and you have entered a competition and they called you, you will miss out on the prize. It is not good because your parents might have bought it for you and they could get very mad at you and that could be money down the drain.

If you shared a cloke bay and you left your bag unzipped and you left your phone in it and someone took it and you wouldn't know which room the reason was in. This would cause the teachers time to try and sort out the problem. If you did do this you are not responsible. To avoid this you could put your phone in your tote tray or put your bag zipped up. 

This is why I think cell phones shouldn't be allowed at school. I hope you agree with my opinion. I am sure there are many other reasons why this is a bad idea, don't let this happen.

Cellphones should be allowed at school. I think cellphones should not be allowed at school. There are 3reasons why I tank this. They are you could fake being sick, text bullying and you could use bad apps. I hope you agree with my opinion.

You could call your mum or dad and pretend to be fake sick. This would mean you could miss a very important test. Having a cellphone at school means you could also cheat on a text. You would have to do it at lunchtime.

It is not good to look at a screen too long. Of you do your eyes will hurt and your head will too. This will stop you from doing your work in class and you will not learn anything. If you had a cellphone this could happen to you. 

If you have a smart phone you can go online and use apps. This is bad because there are bad apps. Seem of the smart phones are not good for school. Some apps are games and we don't want kids playing games all day. 

I'm sure there are many other reasons why this is a bad idea. Don't let this happen.

Persuasive writing Cell Phones should be allowed at school by Leyi

                                                                            Introduction
Cell phones should not be allowed at school . I think it is not a good idea .  There are three reasons why I think this they are : it's not good looking at the screen for a long time , you might cheat on a test and children text their parents and say they are sick fake and they might pick them up early.

It's not good looking at the screen for a long time.It  will  make  your eyes not good and you will have to wear glasses. This bad because you might  have lots of cool games. You will play them lots of times trying to win, and not concentrating in class, so you won't be knowing the things you will be doing when the teacher tells you to do it.

You might cheat on a test,  this is this is not good because you can get them all right and the the teacher might put you in a higher group and you will have hard work. If you did it fast and have neat hand writing some children might not know it and want you to do it for them. The teacher might pick you to tell the whole class how you did it all right, you might be shy and don't want anybody know you cheat. You just come from a different country, and cannot speak their language well then your mum says you can't use the phone to take it to school, the teacher will think you are great at English.

Children can text their parents and say they are fake/sick and pick them up early. You won't know what you are doing the day we did it, it might be for a very important test.You might say school is finishing early and some people are staying at school. You can text to your mum or dad so we can go home at 10:00 or 10:30 and your mum and dad might not know you don't want to go to school.Maybe they might not be able to pick you up.

                                                                   Conclusion
This is why I think that is not a good idea bringing a cell phone to school. I hope you agree with my opinion. I am sure there are many other reasons why this is a bad idea.Don't let this happen.  

cell phones should be allowed at school . by james mcpherson

cell phones should be allowed at school 

These are my three opinions that support the idea about having cell phones at school .They provide the information i think you will need to support my idea. these ideas are the bes2 t i could think of

If you have a cell phone and finish a test or activity and have nothing to do you could watch a downloaded movie or play an app like mine craft or dc online. And instead of calling out "finished"you could text "James Mcpherson finished :)". plus if you have a cell phone you could go on face book or twitter and post a comment about your work or call another friend that has finished.  so that is why you should be allowed a cell phone or i pod at school . also if you have a cell phone and forgot to make your  parents sign a permission slip or form you could get there permission from text .so you could show your teacher "sure you can go" from sarah. then you don't  have to stay at school . and the teacher could text your parents that you could go instead so she knew it wasn't fake. and my last opinion is if you want to play with someone but don't know where they are you could text them to tell you or you could text them to meet you somewhere .if you didn't want to play the game you could text your friends "I quit    >:(". if your hurt you could text the office "bring plasters :(". so they know what you need                                          
and that is why i think you should be allowed cell phones at school. I hope you agree with my idea I'm sure there are many other reasons that this is a good idea. please let this happen.

Caitlin's Persuasive Writing

Cell phones should be allowed at school. I think cell phones shouldn't be allowed at school. There are 3 reasons why I think this. They are ,someone could text their parents / fake being sick, rude ringtones, and interruptions in class.

1. I am against cell phones being at school because someone could text their parents and ask to come home. Some reasons are - they could say school is finishing early or they don't want to sit a test. By this happening you wouldn't be able to learn what you should know. Your teachers would have no idea where you were and your parents would be very mad if they had to leave work and come and pick you up when you were faking. So I hope you agree with me.

2. Another one of my reasons is rude ringtones. If you have a phone your ringtone might have bad language in it. This might teach children to swear and other children might hear it too. If you try to hide it you could probably still be able to hear it. Imagine if your teacher heard it ?

3. Imagine you were in class and a cell phone went off. If it was yours you would have to answer it. Everyone would get distracted and wouldn't get their work done. They could also hear you talking to your friend (embarrassing).

This is why I think it is a bad idea to have cell phone at school. I hope you agree with my opinion. I am sure there are many other reasons why cell phones shouldn't be allowed at school. Don't let this happen to you.

Pets should be allowed at school.I  disagree with this.There are three reasons why i think this.1.they might have fleas,they might  fight with each other and they might go  to the toilet  where ever they want.


1.They might have fleas and you will get bitten.Also you might be allergic to  fleas.Also you'll be distracted bcause you will be itchy.You could give it to other children.


2.they might fight with each other.Also might eat each other and their owners will be sad.They might hurt other people.Also fur will go everywere.


3.They will go toilet where ever they want.You also will get badly sick.They might go toilet in the bin.They might go toilet on the cord  and the cord will  blow.



this is why i think pets shouldn't be at school.I hope you agree with me.If you bring your pet to school this might happen to you like have a pet  to go toilet on your work.Also they might fight with each other.So don't let this happen to you.

Persuasive writing cellphones should be allowed at school by Lucy

Cellphones should be allowed at school. I do not think cellphones should be allowed at school.
There are three reasons why I think this. They are you can cheat on a test, you could text your parents you are fake being sick, and text bullying.

If you cheat in a test at school you will get mostly everything right and get put in a level thats to hard for you. Your teacher might not believe that u got all the answers right. The answers might not be right that are on the website. You won't be learning much because it's to hard for you.
This is bad because your parents won't be happy that you are learning stuff that is to hard for you.

If you are bullying another person and there mum and dad find out and read your text you sent there child you will be in massive trouble. Your teacher might find you have been bullying somebody else. You might tell your friends and they might tell your teacher. If your teacher reads it then your teacher might take your phone off you. This will be bad because

They could ring there mum or dad they and say they are not feeling well and they will go home for no reason. They might tell there parents they have a really bad headache just because they don't want to do a test. They might say they are sick because they don't like going to school. They might text there mum or dad and say they are sick because they want to fun stuff at there house.

This is why I think cellphones shouldn't be allowed at school. I hope you agree with my opinion. I am sure there are many other reasons why I think this is a bad idea. Don't let this happen.

Pets should be allowed at school by Olivia

Pets should be allowed at school . I disagree with this . There are three reasons why I think this . They are they could cause a distraction . They could have fleas . Or they could eat each other.

1. They could cause a distraction in class time . They could keep making noises . Or jump on tables . Or make toilet stops when ever they want. Or where ever they want .

2. They might have fleas . They might pass them on to other pets or people . If you were allergic to fleas you could get a serious rash. And it could spread . Parents would get angrey about their children or pets getting fleas.

3. They could eat each other . If there was a dog , cat , mouse and a elephant in the same room at the same time this would probably happen . The dog would try eat the cat , then cat would try eat the mouse, and the mouse would try eat the elephant .

This is why I think pets should not be allowed at school. I hope you agree with me. Remember pets could cause distractions , spread fleas or your pet could get killed by another pet. Don't let these things happen to your elephant .
