What do you think of teenagers texting?

With the development of economic level, more and more people have mobile phones, and it is nothing new for college students to play mobile phones. Now middle school students also play mobile phones. Middle school students with mobile phones can be seen on campus and in the street at any time. What do middle school students do with mobile phones? Advantages or disadvantages? What does the teacher think? What's the opinion of the Education Bureau? With these questions, the reporter went deep into some middle schools in our city, interviewed some students and teachers, and made a survey on the use of mobile phones by students. There are some opponents and some supporters.

It is convenient to contact, send text messages, play games and chat. Among more than 30 students and dozens of teachers in No.1 Middle School, No.2 Middle School and Liedong Middle School surveyed by the reporter, they said: As far as they know, there are about 5 students in the class who use mobile phones, and some classes are even more. According to a class of 55 students, about 10% of middle school students are using mobile phones. Huang Tong said that there are 54 students in his class, and 6 students have mobile phones. Teacher Guo, the head teacher of Grade Two in No.2 Middle School, said that there are more students using mobile phones in some classes, at least 10. In the investigation, the reporter found that these students who use mobile phones are divided into fixed and temporary categories. Fixed ones are bought by parents themselves, and students can control them freely. Temporary ones are given to children by parents when they don't use them for a certain period of time. Teacher Wang from the Political and Educational Affairs Office of Liedong Middle School said that some students secretly used lucky money to buy mobile phones for their own use without their parents knowing.

What do middle school students do with mobile phones? According to the survey, it is mainly convenient for parents or classmates to contact, send text messages, play games and chat. Xiao Wu, a graduating class student in Grade Two and Grade Three, is going to enroll in an art class and attend some remedial classes in the evening. In order to contact her at any time and know her whereabouts, her parents provided her with a mobile phone at the end of last year. Liu Tongxue, a senior high school student, also wants to contact his classmates conveniently. It is not easy to find a fixed telephone. He said that during the Spring Festival these days, he frequently used PHS to contact his classmates. Last month, his telephone bill was 100 yuan. Many students said that when students go out to get together on weekends, everyone has a mobile phone, which is convenient to contact and cheap to send text messages.

Views of all parties: pros and cons

Do middle school students need a mobile phone? Is it good or bad for middle school students to use mobile phones? Will it affect your study? Everyone agrees except that it is convenient for parents to contact with students, but teachers and students have different views.

Teacher Lin of Liedong Middle School believes that it is an information society and the times are developing. It is normal for middle school students to use mobile phones, which is the trend of the times. In another 8 years or 10 years, most students will definitely have mobile phones. Just like we used watches at that time, from strange to ordinary. I also don't think that students' use of mobile phones will affect their studies. If they think that playing games and texting are not good for their study, even if students are forbidden to use mobile phones, they will still do other things to kill time, such as listening to the walkman. The key is students' moral self-discipline, knowing how to respect others and not affecting their studies.

Chen, a junior two and senior three student, belongs to the campus mobile phone family and has been using mobile phones for one and a half years. She said it was convenient to use a mobile phone. Students always contact each other by mobile phone at weekend parties. Although the school has an IC card phone booth, it always feels inconvenient. I also think that the mobile phone has no influence on my study. I don't play games and seldom send text messages. Besides, in class, I usually turn off my mobile phone or set it to the vibration file, and sometimes I just leave it at home instead of taking it to school.

Mr. Chi Qichang, director of the Office of No.1 Middle School, holds an opposing view. He said that the use of mobile phones by middle school students has little effect, but there are many disadvantages. After all, middle school students don't communicate much. At present, they still focus on learning, so it's best not to use it. Teacher Chi talked about the disadvantages in three aspects. First, students will form a psychology of showing off and keeping up with the joneses. Some students envy other students having mobile phones, and pester their parents to buy a mobile phone regardless of family economic conditions. Some students saw that other students' mobile phones were more advanced and beautiful than their own, and they were unbalanced and asked their parents to change them. Parents blindly meet his requirements, which is not conducive to the growth of students. Second, it will affect learning and undermine classroom discipline. Students use mobile phones to play games, send text messages and chat, which distracts their energy and will definitely affect their normal study. They always want to play with their mobile phones, so they have no mind to concentrate on their studies. Classroom is interrupted by cell phone ringing from time to time, which affects normal teaching. There is also the unhealthy content of some short messages, which affects the physical and mental health of middle school students. Middle school students are exposed to pornographic information for a long time, which is easy to form psychologically unhealthy reading habits. We are worried about the harm that pornographic short messages bring to teenagers. Moreover, mobile phone short messages are hidden and difficult to be detected. Chen Lizhi, a teacher from the Political and Educational Affairs Office of No.1 Middle School, also expressed the same view.

Teacher Du from the Political and Educational Affairs Office of Liedong Middle School also expressed opposition. He said that some middle school students are "ghosts" now. Mobile phones have become a convenient tool for some middle school students to exchange play information. Playing mobile phone at home is easy to expose the target, and mobile phone has become a fun student line. Some students go to the game hall to play. When they found a vacancy in a game hall, they immediately informed other students with their mobile phones, and a large number of students came at once. Sometimes our teacher goes to the game hall to catch them, and they use their mobile phones to "report" their classmates playing in other game halls. What is even more worrying is that it is even more difficult for students who are puppy love to secretly communicate with their mobile phones.

City Education Bureau: No support, positive guidance.

Can middle school students use mobile phones? As the administrative department of education in Sanming City, what is the attitude of the Municipal Education Bureau? The reporter interviewed Yang Guofeng, director of the Municipal Education Bureau, on this issue.

Director Yang Guofeng said that there are advantages and disadvantages for middle school students to use mobile phones. On the one hand, it is convenient for parents to contact, but it is more harmful to students. At present, unhealthy short messages still cannot be protected. As a communication tool, mobile phone is a manifestation of social progress. Middle school students have their own way of life, and using mobile phones is their right. The Education Bureau has no necessary basis to prohibit students from using mobile phones, and will not issue management regulations on this issue at present. The attitude of the Municipal Education Bureau is not to support and actively guide. Regarding the unwritten rules that some schools require students not to use mobile phones, Director Yang said that the Municipal Education Bureau has no objection to this.

Director Yang Guofeng emphasized that the school is a public place, and if students use mobile phones during class or self-study, it will inevitably affect the normal teaching order of the school. So students can't use mobile phones in public places of the school, such as teaching buildings, experimental buildings, libraries and other places. During class, it is not allowed to set the mobile phone to vibration gear.

Editor's Note: With the progress of society, many parents with financial conditions have given their children mobile phones, the original intention is of course to facilitate contact. However, will the use of mobile phones by middle school students have a negative impact on their studies? Will it affect the campus order? Teachers, parents and classmates are welcome to discuss this and express their opinions.
