Should West students have their phones during lunch and recess?

Should students be able to have their phones during lunch?
Mr. Smiley gave his opinion on phones at lunch, “The first thing that people will do when they get to the lunch room would be to get on their phones.” Basically that means that phones would be really distracting to students! It would cause drama and people wouldn’t make eye contact with people at their table. People would also be to distracted to eat and wouldn’t finish their lunch!
Marleigh Hammond, West 7th grader said “ I think that phones would be nice to have during lunch because we are already at school for a long time and it would be nice to have a break.” We were not shocked that a student and staff member had a different perspective.
We totally understand why kids think having a cell phone is not a big deal. However, cell phones are distracting and can cause many problems between students. There can be pictures taken of students while they are doing something. That might be embarrassing to them.

We shouldn’t have cell phones at school because #1 People could record you/the teacher and #2 because literally none of your friends would even talk at lunch or recess. GREAT article!!!

I like that you acknowledged the fact that students and staff members would have different opinions on this issue

I understand the reason they don’t want them but I feel like it would be easy to find ways to have students not take pictures.
