Interview with Ayanna

Should Phones be Banned at School? By: Amber

Now that middle school has started, students are allowed to bring their phones to school, compared to primary school, when students could only use their phones on their bus. However, they could be a distraction while they’ re having class. It is also a big difference that they may utilize their phones during class, paying no attention to other students or teachers. In this article, I shall be interviewing two 6th graders named Ayanna and Aiden on their opinions about using cellphones in schools.
