Question

Have you felt annoyed when a mobile phone during the class? Something must be done to stop this. Now in New York City, USA, a rule is carried out in schools. Students can’t even bring mobile phones to schoo1. Is it a good thing or not?

Anxious parents say that mobile phone s are an important tool（工具）in holding New York city’s families together.

“I worry about it,” said Elizabeth Lorris Ritter, a mother of a middle school kid, “It’s necessary in our everyday life. We have a washing machine. We have running water, and we have mobile phones.”

Many American parents think mobile phones connect them to their children on buses, getting out from subways, walking through unknown places.

 “I have her call me when she gets out of school,” said Lindsay Walt, a schoolgirl’s mother. “No one in New York is going to let their child go to school without a mobile phone.”  

What about the mobile phone owners, the students? Most of the students said mobile phones were essential and the mobile phone was like all extra（額外的）hand or foot for them.

“I feel so empty,” said May Chom, 14. There is also no way to listen to music on the way to school without my phone. It will be a really, really boring trip.”
