My point of view

Should cell phones be allowed in the classroom? Yes!

It’s important that we learn to work with cell phone technology instead of pushing it away. Let’s reframe phones as tools for the classroom, as they provide many features that can be used for assignments and projects alike. Regarding losing focus or not, only eight percent of teens report often losing focus due to cell phones in class.

Should cell phones be allowed in the classroom? No!

In an environment where teenagers are competing against one another academically, and stress is always looming, there’s no need for the technological world to plague already scattered minds. We should be taking every measure to improve classroom engagement.

Is community college for you?

What should I have decided at age 16, given that journalism was my main interest? Should I have majored in English at a university, where a journalism major did not exist? In retrospect, selecting a community college where I could focus on journalism might have been a better decision. Is community college for you?
