Are mobile phones a good or a bad thing?

“Students can't bring their mobile phones or other things like Ipods with camera to class.” This is the new rule in the school.

It seems like some students have filmed some videos and they have uploaded them to the internet but, have they done something wrong? Yes, they have uploaded the video to the internet. Teachers must punish them but not the rest of the students. If someone wants to listen to music and that person only has a Ipod with camera, why can't he listen to music? Because of other person's fault? It's not fair.

I'm not saying that filming a video at school it's a bad thing (teachers thing that it is bad), the bad thing is to upload it to the internet. I think that you can take a photo or a video but you can't upload it to the internet. School's rules say that you can't take photos or videos, if you agree or disagree it's now important, so student must not to do it. Even if you aren't going to upload that photos or videos to the internet.

I know that student have done something wrong because they haven't followed the rules but it's not fair to punish all students because of three or four. Teachers, instead of punish all students, must talk to the people who upload the video and punish them.

In conclusion, mobile phones or Ipods aren't a bad thing if you know how to use them and when you can use them.

Teachers, don't punish all students if only two or three of them have done something wrong, it's not fair. And students with good behaviour will be grateful.

My opinion

I think that it's fair to punish some students but not all students. Because, and I am include in this group, we didn't do anything. I didn't even know they were uploading videos to the internet. In one hand, it's fair to punish some students because they have done something wrong. And in the other hand it's not fair to punish all students without their mobile phones.
