Who can work while listening to the incessant ringing of a cell phone? This does not creat an inviting classroom environment for students. Although cell phones would be useful in the event of an emergency, they should not be allowed in schools because of the increased amount of disruptive and social problems.
Despite the interruptions, cell phones do provide on advantage. They allow quick communications during times of an emergency; they also enable students to contact their parents at any time for any reason. One example might be: if a student forgot that they have an after school affair to attend for that day, such as a sports practice or tutoring, they could easily notify their parents of the newly needed pick-up time. However, this convenience does not outwiegh the problems cell phones can cause.
Disturbances during the school daycan cause students a great distraction.

Besides these factors, allowing cell phones in school could cause an influx of social problems. Kids are already picked on over a number of issues, such as appearances, financial status, etc. If a student is not fortunate enough to afford a cell phone, this would give cause for the other students to tease them.
Overall, cell phone use in school might be slightly advantageous in an emergency sitituation, but they should not be allowed because the problems outweigh the benefits by far.
Needs some work
This was an okay persuasive essay. But your ideas need to be developed more. You made very good points but next time I would suggest you add in what someone might debate you about. For example, you say its distracting for students when a cell phone rings..okay but what if the phone is on vibrate? What would you say? Points like these also need to be addressed in persuasive essays. You need to cover all points of a topic.
