Nowadays, MOBILE PHONE is a technology that has become a trend for youth. Even it has
become a part of life that cannot be abandoned from them. Every teenager certainly has a

began arise due to the use of MOBILE PHONE in school such as texting during class, keep
video or pornographic images. Therefore, many schools prohibit carrying cell phones at
school.

The policy of prohibiting MOBILE PHONE for students at school raises pros and cons in the
community. For those who oppose this policy, this policy is considered to limit students’
right to communicate. They assume that communication is very important for them. There is
also a thought that by banning MOBILE PHONE will make students stress easily because
they are not able to use it as a means of entertainment and there so many another opinion.

For those who pros with this policy, considered that it is an appropriate way because it would
lead to a positive impact for students. They will be more concentrating on the lesson.
Students will also be able to be controlled because there are few students who utilize it for
negative activities.

It has become a common thing that every policy has pros and cons. However, things we need
to understand is that every life wants to have good impact and every decision must have the
advantages and disadvantages. What we need to do is to choose to run the decision by
looking at the benefits. Does it has more benefits or even cause a loss for us?

Everything has been being changed by technology. Mobile phones and Internet have the great role
in making advantages as well as disadvantages. The debate appears when the devices are used by
students.
The most advantageous thing of mobile phones when students use is getting connected. With cell
phones in hand, students are encouraged to build collaborative learning. they are able to share
notes and lesson with others. Additionally with mobile phones, parents of the students will be less
worried since they can easily contact their children.
The second advantages is the existence of mobile phone’s feature as memory aids. Students can
store some important documents of their lessons in notes, photos, or videos. Because of the
portability, the documents kept in that mobile phones can be easily used when they are in necessity.
Besides some advantages stated above, mobile phones also give some disadvantages when used by
students. Reduction in learning is one of the disadvantages. With mobile phone in hands of students,
they are attracted to focus on their phones call and messages and pay less attention to their lessons
and school works.
Again, the negative effects on using mobile phones, students potentially do cheating. Mobile phones
makes students cheat easily on tests and assignments. They can simply send a text answer to their
friends. They have the ability and opportunity to cheat.
Finally, the disadvantages actually can be avoided if the parents properly guide their children on the
advantageous way of using mobile phones.
Development of the times also affect the development of advanced technology. The more modern
this era of increasingly sophisticated technology is also being created. advanced technologies in the
communication field was already very much encountered in everyday life.
hp is an example of modern communication tools have been very widely used by people either both
parents and teens. Teens utilize hp with various forms exist that use it just for communication,
entertainment, and even some that are used for the negative things.
they use the phone constantly and bring it wherever they go even at school though.
In this case indirectly make them dependent on the phone so it will be hard to let go of their phone
even if only in some time.
Various problems began to arise due to the use hp at schools such as texting, playing games,
listening to music via the handset while the lessons and much more. Therefore, many schools make
the rules, and forbid students to bring hp when school.
the presence of these rules, I think it is appropriate because it would lead to a positive impact for
students. They will concentrate in lessons. Students will also be able to control because not a few
students who utilize hp for negative activities.
Finally, negative things like the above can be avoided if parents really guide and pay attention to
their children in the use of mobile phones.

Berkembangnya zaman juga ikut mempengaruhi berkembangnya teknologi canggih. Semakin

modern zaman ini semakin canggih pula teknologi yang diciptakan. teknologi canggih di bidang
komunikasi pun sudah sangat banyak kita jumpai pada kehidupan sehari-hari.

hp merupakan satu contoh alat komunikasi modern yang sudah sangat banyak dipakai oleh
masyarakat baik baik orang tua maupun remaja. Remaja memanfaatkan hp dengan berbagai macam
bentuk ada yang menggunakannya hanya untuk komunikasi, hiburan, bahkan ada pula yang
digunakan untuk hal-hal negatif.

mereka menggunakan hp terus menerus dan membawanya kemanapun mereka pergi bahkan di
sekolah sekalipun.

Di dalam hal ini secara tidak langsung membuat mereka bergantung pada hp sehingga akan sulit
untuk melepaskan hp mereka walaupun hanya dalam beberapa waktu.

Berbagai masalah mulai timbul karena penggunaan hp di sekolah seperti smsan, bermain game,
mendengar musik melalui handset saat pelajaran dan masih banyak lagi. Oleh karena itu banyak
sekolah membuat aturan, dan melarang siswa untuk membawa hp saat sekolah.

dengan adanya aturan ini, saya menganggap hal ini sudah tepat karena akan menimbulkan dampak
positif bagi siswa. Mereka akan lebih berkonsentrasi dengan pelajaran. Siswa juga akan lebih bisa
terkontrol karena tak sedikit siswa yang memanfaatkan hp untuk kegiatan yang negatif.

Akhirnya, hal hal negatif seperti diatas sebenarnya dapat dihindari jika orang tua benar-benar
membimbing dan memperhatikan anak-anak mereka dalam menggunakan ponsel.
