Staff Using Cell Phones at Bell High

            Despite the fact that there is no policy that states that staff should not be using cell phones at Bell High, it is still not the correct thing to do. Staff, should be the ones to set the example, if they want students to respect the fact that they may not use phones during school hours. Some staff that are required to be supervising, at times appear to be more concentrated on their phones than on making sure that everything is stable around them.  When students are planning, to become involved in some activity that is unacceptable, what they seem to look for is distraction, so if staff is always distracted, using technology, there is a higher chance that more disorder will take place in the campus. 

                        Students react negatively towards the enforcement of staff in students not using cell phones because they do not receive the same example from staff. Without cell phones students would be more dedicated and focused toward their academic coursework because an electronic device would not distract their minds. It is very important to keep in mind, that the less electronic devices are used, the more our minds are capable of absorbing information transmitted towards our minds. There will be no chance in the amount of students that use their cell phones during school hours, until the people enforcing these laws make a change on themselves.
