Banning Mobile Phones at SchoolIt is a question that keeps some parents awake at night. Should children be allowed to take mobile phones to school? (1)  For parents who want their children to do well at school, it is no.Banning mobile phones at school is effective. According to a UK study, after schools banned mobile phones, the test scores of students improved by 6.4%. The findings will influence the debate about children and mobile phones. In the UK, more than 90% of teenagers own a mobile phone; in the US, 75% have one. The popular mobile phone is a problem in the eye of teachers.(2)In a 2001 survey, no school banned mobiles. By 2007, this had risen to 50%. By 2012, 98% of schools had taken action. Some did not allow phones. The others required them to be handed in at the beginning of the day.(3)New York City has lifted a 10-year ban on phones at school. It says that lifting the ban will promote equality. “This view is wrong,”the researchers of the UK study write. “We found that the ban led to improvements in test scores among students. Low achieving students gained the most.(4)Allowing phones into schools will harm the lowest-achieving students the most.”The UK study was carried out at Birmingham, London, Leicester and Manchester schools before and after bans were introduced. "Technology is commonly viewed as increasing efficiency," the researchers write.“Modern technology is used in the classroom to improve student performance.(5)Some students will pay no attention to their class."
I Use Every Second Before I Go to Work➊ I wake up at 6 a.m. everyday. The first thing I do when I wake up is grab my smartphone and take it to the bathroom with me, where I start my day by consuming quite a lot of information. I go to some websites, but the main site that I focus on during this time is Nuzzel, a collector of headlines and links. I recommend everyone look into it if they feel they don't have time to properly focus on every website individually.❷ After visiting those sites, I head to Twitter, my No.1 outlet for communication with the public. Twitter is becoming a listening platform. There is such a volume of information on the platform that you need pay attention to. So I spend a great amount of my morning responding to people and starting conversations.❸ After all this comes my workout (锻炼) with my trainer. I usually work out for about 45 minutes. The specific workout routine varies depending on the day of the week, what I ate, and how much I've been traveling.❹ After the workout, I head back home to get my children ready for school. I say bye to them and give them each a kiss before they leave. Then, I'm off to my office, often before 9 a.m.❺ In the car to my office, I call my mom, dad or sister.
