Male Female

Today I would like to talk about a rule that I dislike and want to amend. The rule is none other than the restriction on mobile phones. Actually, this rule is not only applicable in my institution but also worldwide. So I think it must be changed if institutions and schools want their students to be productive while schooling. The principal believes that if we have phones in our hands, we might misuse them for scrolling through Instagram or cheating in exams. However, this is not the case when it comes to using mobile phones; they can have various benefits. For example, we can use them to search for information that is quite difficult to find, as well as questions that are not easy to solve, not only for students but also for teachers. Solutions come instantly while using phones. There are various apps such as Duolingo and also Google Translate, which are quite beneficial. It is imperative to use them while studying because they help us refresh our minds and adapt ourselves to be more productive at school. Another thing is that if this rule were changed, I would be the happiest person on earth because nowadays we are facing the problem of getting into depression due to our hectic schedules. We don't have breaks, and we don't have time to see something motivational or funny, which helps us feel better during school hours. So I think this is the rule that I want to amend in the future.
