Excerpt 1
Cellphones banned in classrooms
Primary and middle school students will not be allowed to use cellphones or tablets in classrooms starting from Nov. 1, according to a new regulation.
The regulation, adopted by the legislature last month, calls on schools to keep such devices for the students during school time if they bring them to school, with the aim of curbing the incidence of myopia.
Parents should also control the time their children spend on electronic devices, teach them to keep a proper distance from books and screens, and ensure a correct reading position and sufficient lighting, it says.
In late August, the Ministry of Education, the National Health Commission and six other government departments launched a multilayered action plan to help battle nearsightedness in children.
As well as forbidding students from bringing cellphones and tablets to class, the action plan requires teachers not to rely on electronic devices when teaching and giving assignments, and asks them to assign only written homework.
The regulation is significant, according to a local health expert.
Mr. Sun, deputy director of the Prevention and Treatment Center for Child Visual Impairment, said using legal tools to protect children’s eyesight is of great importance.
The regulation sets out the responsibilities of government organizations, schools and parents to battle nearsightedness in children, he said.
" More than 40 percent of primary and middle school students have myopia and I believe with concerted efforts from government, school, parents and students, the rate can be reduced in the future," Sun said.
Excerpt 2
New York City schools ask students to " Bring Your Own Devices"
Amy Thiam, a fourth-grader at Harlem’s Primary School 129, is staring at her cellphone in class—just as her teacher instructed. She’s typing questions about their recent lesson on Native Americans into school software. Later, her classmates will share their questions and they’ll answer them together.
These students in Stacey Nealy’s and Ryann Geldner’s classroom only began using their cellphones in class the day before, in early June, but they had no trouble adjusting.
" We are learning and having fun at the same time," Amy said, pointing to her Android smartphone. Its bright pink case matches the scrunchy in her hair. "My parents just told me I couldn’t lose it. "
New York City public schools looking for new ways to bring technology into the classroom received a potential boost with the lifting of the cellphone ban in March. The Department of Education (DOE) is now encouraging schools to leverage students’ devices—such as smartphones, laptops and tablets—as instructional tools by asking students to "Bring Your Own Devices" , a program referred to as "BYOD". It’s part of a national trend of bringing student devices into classrooms. According to a study published by Amplify, a company that creates digital tools for schools, 29 percent of school districts encouraged BYOD, and another 20 percent had a BYOD program in development.

答案
Should Cellphones Be Allowed in Classrooms? Today, technology plays a big part in the world. Some people think the entry of cellphones into classrooms is an indication of social progress, and what we should do is to try our best to integrate cellphones properly into our classrooms so as to serve the teaching effectively. However, some other people are against the idea. They insist that banning students from using mobile phones in classrooms will help curb the occurrence of myopia, which is good for their physical health. Taking the views from both sides into account, I’m inclined to side with the latter, not merely because banning cellphones in class does have health benefits for students, but also because cellphones can be a distraction in class. It’s especially true for those students who lack self-control. As for me, the temptation brought by cellphones is irresistible to quite a lot of people. When connected to the Internet, we are inevitably distracted by the flow of information that cannot be ignore. We should recognize that even a few seconds of absent-mindedness can prevent us from following the teacher and thus affect our learning results. Some opponents may make the point that we can use cellphones to search for information in class. But isn’t it true that all the information we need can be collected beforehand or that some problems generated in class can be solved after class? Besides, cellphones can make it convenient for us to know the answer immediately, but it also leads to contempt to thinking and memorizing. Of course, forbidding students to use cellphones in class does not necessarily motivate those who are not interested in learning to study hard, but what is certain is that it can prevent some students from being distracted by mobile phones. And the fundamental solution is still to make our lessons lively and interesting so that students can realize what they will miss if they can’t concentrate.
