Texting In Class Essay
1. Texting in Class Essay
Texting in class is a very touchy subject, and can be argued from many different aspects. One of the main things though, is that texting in class would
not be disruptive just for the student texting, but also to the students sitting around the student that is doing the texting. In this today's generation,
everywhere around us people of all ages and cultures circle around their cell phones in everything they do. Whether we are walking down the road,
in the grocery style, in class, or even much dangerously, in driving, cell phones have grown to be a very vital part of our everyday lives. However,
when it comes to cell phones and texting in the classroom, a very controversial answer is given between teachers and students. Students say they...show

As mentioned in an article on classbrain.com, 52 % of students text students that are in the same classroom as they are at the same time! (Olanoff,
sec. 1) Students think that when their teachers get on to them for texting in class or have such strict policies because they are out to get them,
however, teachers do this because they are looking out for the benefit of the students. Many students say texting is both wrong and right. Wrong in
that it distracts them from paying attention in class and thus getting behind in their studies. Also, it's right in that it could be a very important text
that couldn't wait and it wouldn't hurt to just send that one. When students choose to text in class, it is solely their choice. Teachers with their strict
texting policies and their form of punishment, is only done in order to prepare students for life beyond school. The older students get the more
responsibilities they will carry at their jobs, and in providing for a family. If they are not prepared at a young age to control their texting while doing
something important as paying attention in class or even driving, then they will not be able to control texting while at work which could lead to them
losing their job and having trouble keeping a job. It is very hard to do your job right while being distracted every few minutes by an incoming text,
and on the same hand, it's going to be very

2. Texting Argument Essay
Have anyone ever wondered why literacy rates are low? Technology is a very good thing,but people should measure their usage. All electronic
devices have apps where people can communicate and even live chat with one another. Texting is one of those things that are affecting people's brains
and the literacy rates are dropping. People need to reduce the amount of texting because some people text and drive,and literacy rates are lower
because of this.
Another term for texting would be considered sms (source B). Sms stands for short term message. Tm is also a short term for text message (Dakin).
Social Slang and slang in general is being used often when people talk to each other( Miners). For example people use numbers,symbols, and word
phrases when they text (Tomaszewski). This slang/social slang will affect people when they get a professional job,because they will not know how to

Being on the phone is a huge distraction. In Some cases have also had more car accidents because of driving and texting (Loftis). Texting can also
cause finger problems(Kelland). Some teens text during school or try to get away with texting during school (Hanfer). They use auto correct instead
of spelling the word (Fleck). These texting cases are going to get worse as the years go on if we do not limit the usage of texting (Hanfer). The
majority of teens get accustomed to using cyber slang (Miners). To continue, some teens choose to text at night because they have more free time or
need help with homework (Fleck). Walking and texting is another negative cause because they are focusing on what they are doing rather than paying
attention to where they are going or where they are walking to (Loftis). Teens texting affects them during class because it is easier for them to text each

Does Texting Affect Writing: A Critical Analysis of the Influence of Text Speak in Student's Writing
We as a society are evolving with each generation to come. We are getting stronger, faster, and smarter. Just as cell phones are no longer square blocks
with numbers on them and TV's are not in black and white, writing itself has also evolved. Once upon a time many wrote and spoke in a
Shakespearean form of language and over the years it has evolved into something we call modern English. In recent years, technology has advanced
greatly and cell phones have become one of our primary use of communication. With cell phones came a new form of writing called text messaging.
Text messaging is used to send short, concise messages to anyone around the world. Often times text messages involve the use of abbreviations
which stand for different things and also involves frequent use of emoji's as a form of expression. This form of writing is now considered informal
writing and is not acceptable in academic settings. In Michaela Cullington's essay "Does Texting Affect Writing?" she touches on both sides of whether
texting is hindering students writing or if it's actually having a positive effect. She then makes is clear that she believes most students are educated
enough to know when text speak is appropriate and when it's not so therefore it has no effect on students. Although, I agree with her thesis, she lacks
credibility due to her insufficient evidence. In addition, I also believe

4. Texting And Communication Essay
Ever taken the advantage of texting or video call to communicate with people instead of gathering the confidence and talking in person? The amount of
texting in this society has increased gradually over the past decade with a percentage of over 7,700% (Burke). Since the development of communication
on modern technology, this generation's ability to communicate in person has been damaged through lack of faceâtoâface interactions and improper
grammar. Although texting and social media may benefit relationships in long distance, privacy is invaded and the lack of interactions in person
can damage relationships. Furthermore, texting has changed the way the world communicates because it provides an easier option for people to
choose to contact people. To begin with, texting has changed the way society in the 21st century communicates because it deprives social skills of a
person. The increasing amount of conversations developed on technology has affected the confidence and social skills of this generation because
communicating behind a screen is different from communicating in person. Before sending a message, an individual can erase and retype a
message before a mistake is sent. On the other hand, in a verbal conversation, errors are irreversible once something is said. Several people have
turned to technology to get over their fears of confronting people. Not only does this decrease the confidence of social skill in this generation, it also
increases cyberbullying, a form of

Since the creation of STO 126.2, texting and driving among Salina teenagers has not increased (Lemon). Although texting and driving laws are fairly

known to the public eyeââ it took some time for people to actually see the big purpose. She now reports that seat belt compliance is over 90% due to
an increase in distracted driving education and enforcement (JACKIE). Education to create awareness for distracted driving can come in many
forms, but which will get the message across? Out of a survey taken by fourteen Salina high school teenagers, eleven of the fourteen students said
that the best way to get the message across resorts down to "seeing is believing". Teenagers need to see for themselves the consequences for
distracted driving or they will not see it as possible (SURVEY). Officer Lemon adds support by stating the stories of others who have suffered the
consequences of distracted driving is a good way to show the dangers of distracted driving (Lemon). To bring distracted driving education and

More than 70% of people have texted and driven before. 1 out of every 4 crashes are caused by texting and driving. Texting and driving is also the
leading cause of crashes in the United States and is not slowing down anytime soon if laws aren't instated. Teens make up a large percentage of texting

Making texting and driving illegal would keep everyone safe."After declining from 1999 to 2005, fatalities from distracted driving increased 28%
after 2005, rising from 4572 fatalities to 5870 in 2008."(Associations 2) Every year this number goes up so something needs to happen to prevent

Crystal Gaddison Mrs.Gifford English 12 27 November 2017 Persuasive Essay: Texting and driving Even though in today's time everyone has a cell
phone and that it's not new to the world. There are some disadvantages and advantages on having a cell phone. One advantage is that it helps with
communication with family and friends in today's time. One disadvantage with having a cell phone is that when people receive a phone call or text
they want to answer it right away no matter if you're driving or not so it causes distraction and it's dangerous to text and drive. People should not text
and drive because it's against the law, people could die, and it's unnecessary. Texting and driving is against the law because "In 2012 Alabama became
the 38th state to ban texting while driving." (http://www.drivinglaws.org/alabama.php) also "Novice drivers in Alabamaâ drivers aged 16 or 17 with an
intermediate license less than 6 monthsâ are banned from from using cellâphones (both handheld and handsâfree) and, like all drivers, banned from
texting. Even the bus drivers are banned from texting while driving."(http://www.drivinglaws.org/alabama.php) Not only that but there are also fines
you can get for texting and driving and those penalties are "Fines for texting and driving are $25 (first offense) then $50 and $75. A driver will also
be penalized with two points against the driver's license. Alabama's cell phone and texting laws are considered "primary" laws. A primary law means
that an officer can pull a novice driver for texting without having to witness some other violation. That is, the officer sees the novice driver texting and
simply issues a citation." (http://www.drivinglaws.org/alabama.php) Texting and driving can also be dangerous because people could die. Not only that
texting and driving causes distraction to where it increases the chances of you dying or getting into car accidents. On https://www.dmv.org

actually believe texting is great for us. It has made communication easier and its negative impacts are very avoidable. The risks mentioned in the article
are the driving impairments, the physical injuries, and the effect it can have on your grammar. Although these risks seem dangerous, they can be
avoided easily. Texting is a fast and efficient way of communicating. Whether it comes to contacting your distant friends or receiving emergency

While making texting/emailing while driving illegal has the potential to hinder the population from doing it, I think that enforcing the law with the

If people are only receiving small fines and tickets as a punishment, that may not be a big enough deterrent for them to stop. What may help them stop
however is punishment more related to the crime. For example, someone who is caught texting and driving should have to pay whatever fine is
currently associated (because nobody really likes having their wallet tampered with no matter how much money they have) AND be required to do
a certain number of community service working with victims of texting and driving so they can see the true ramifications of their actions. They
should be required to help fix property damaged by a texting and driving accident, or volunteer in a hospital room or home of a patient who has
suffered injuries caused by an accident from texting and driving. If caught a second time, they should be required to pay a larger fine, do the
community service once again, plus receive points on their license or have their license suspended; because now they are not only have to see the
results of their actions, but also have their life impeded as well. If the infraction keeps occurring, the person should have their license taken away

Several decades ago, "Ain't ain't a word" was a favorite litany of English teachers everywhere, and they sang it whenever that offending word cropped

In talking with teens, Donna Alvermann (2007) found even those who claim they strongly dislike writing and never write outside school write entire
paragraphs while texting, and some even create alternate identities for different chat rooms, thus engaging in creative writing. Teens prefer to text their
ideas and feelings because it is less risky than speaking them, and Alvermann suggests content area teachers can capitalize on that.
Teaching through Texting Language is not static; it grows and develops, and, like "ain't," such textisms as LOL (laughing out loud) and BRB (be
right back) may someday become acceptable English. Young people already speak many of their text talk abbreviations. The fact of the matter is the
technology that spurred the development of this new language is here to stay, which means text talk is here to stay, and taking a hard line on keeping
it out of the classroom is a losing battle. It is a losing battle teachers don't have to fight because they can harness the potential of text talk as a teaching
tool. Kristen Hawley Turner (2009) advocates using text talk to teach students how to consciously codeâswitch, or switch back and forth between
informal and formal English usage. She and her graduate students developed an enjoyable lesson they call "Flip the Switch" which they use to teach

14. Argument Essay On Texting While Driving
Texting while driving is a controversial subject. The vast majority of people feel that texting while driving should be illegal. Most people also feel
that legal actions need to take place to stop this behavior. However, I'm part of the small majority that disagrees with the main point of view. I
believe that texting while driving shouldn't be illegal and that states that have made it illegal need to repeal those laws. Texting while driving isn't
the true problem. The true problem is that people get distracted easily. So I believe that making texting while driving illegal doesn't even solve the
problem. Another reason why it shouldn't be illegal is that people don't follow laws as it is, and this can cause even more problems. Texting while
driving should be the driver's choice, not the government's choice. While those who think that the law that bans texting while driving will solve
the problem, I believe that it will only worsen the problem. The people who choose to follow the law most likely don't care about texting and
driving. So they probably wouldn't text and drive even if it isn't a law. However, those who are addicted to texting and driving will not stop just
because a law is passed. In past events where similar situations have occurred, it has only backfired on our government and society. This situation
I'm talking about is making certain drugs illegal. The government made drugs illegal believing it was going to help solve the crime rate, solve
social problems, health, and hygiene. This clearly did not go as planned. It ended up creating gangs, private selling of different types of drugs, and
crime rates increasing. I do agree that texting and driving is dangerous. However, I believe that texting and driving laws make the problem worse.
People who still text and drive have to hide their phones lower on their laps than they normally would because it is illegal to text and drive. Since
they have to put their phones lower on their lap, their reaction time increases. In some cases passing a law solves the problem, but in other cases ,
like texting while driving and making certain drugs illegal, the problem can possibly become worse. The reason why texting and driving is so

For instance, the child may try to put his hand over the hot stove because he is curious and the mother has the responsibility to discipline him.
There are different ways that the mother could go about that. First, if the mother tap the child's hand, it may not be effective if it didn't hurt him.
The reason why is because the child may wait the cost and benefits of touching the stove in his head. If the tap didn't hurt and if he feels like, he
wouldn't mind another one then he would do it again. However, if the mother took more severe measure like take his liberties away like a video
game or other freedom he had. That could have gotten to him and he would understand that it's not worth it to touch the stove if it means losing his
liberties. So just like this case scenario, the public violating the texting and driving rules need some punishment that are so exaggerated that they

way to discourage them. Another would be a night in

One text message is all it takes for one's life to change completely. Five seconds, five seconds for one text message that could wait ,could not only

It can also take up large amount of time that can be used for something important. Another disadvantage is that texting has changed the importance of
grammar and the correct spelling, causing many problems because people simply do not know how to write formally and accurately. After texting
started, the language of texting was born. Grammar, spelling, abbreviation did not matter anymore, which is why texting is largely popular with the
younger generation. Finally, one last disadvantage is that texting is so popular now that people even use it while driving. Texting while driving is a
growing issue today, especially with the teenagers. Texting while driving does not only take your mind of the road, but from your eyes too. With car
which can easily travel over hundred miles per hour has made it even more dangerous for drivers who text. A milleâsecond is all that is needed for a
fast paced car to go out of control; from there it's all a disaster.
One thing is certain. Interpersonal connections and socialization is changing. While the speed and ease of cell phones and texting seem to be making
communication more frequent, it is also becoming less personal and intimate and is causing us to become more illiterate. Meaningful face to face

be physically prohibiting, a distraction, and dangerous. First of all, using a phone physically requires them to use at least one hand. When driving a

If they don't constantly paying attention, problems can arise. Most importantly, using your phone while driving can seriously hurt others or even

and didn't have good control of their car, they could have seriously injured the child because their mind was somewhere their body wasn't. Even
though, not everyone who texts and drives hurts someone, people do it daily and their fine. The fact is that it only takes one time to do it, and
something goes wrong, for someone to get seriously hurt. Having a law that prohibits the use of phone while driving is something that should be
upheld everywhere because it limits their driving ability's physically and mentally, making their driving unsafe for everyone. If they drive with their
