Do cellphones belong in schools?

By Washington Post, adapted by Newsela staff

Cellphones have been around for a long time. Many kids have their own. But schools still do not know what to do about it.

Schools have all different rules about phones. Can younger kids bring phones to school? Can middle school students use phones at lunch? Teachers are not sure. Which rules make the most sense?

Montgomery County Public Schools is in Maryland. It is the biggest school system in the state. A big debate is happening there. It is all about cellphones. Parents, students and teachers cannot agree.

Principal Serino had an idea. She decided kids can have cellphones at lunch. But only on Fridays. There are other limits, too. Kids cannot play violent games. They cannot take photos. Also, they cannot play music out loud. They must wear ear buds, instead.

Reading QuestionsDirections: Use the text to answer these three questions. Remember to begin with a capital letter and end with a period.

In the parenthesis “ ( )”, circle the positive or negative form you choose for your answer, then explain your reason after “because”.

Ocean animals come in many shapes and

sizes. They have gills so they can breath

underwater. Whales are big and swim long

distances, traveling around the world. Crabs are

small and live close to the shore. Some ocean

animals can also go on land, but others can only be

in the water. At the bottom of the ocean, there is

no light and it is very dark and cold, but animals

still live there because they have adapted to that

environment.
