In these days, many people carry beepers, especially the teenagers. They think they look cool and nice when they have a beeper. Therefore, they carry the beepers with them everyday. They even bring the beepers to school. However, it is againsts school's rule. Should beepers be banned? For me, I believe that beepers should be banned in school.

Everyone is concerned about school violence. If the schools banned beepers, that would make schools safer by reducing the drug and gang problems. Many students said that they carry beepers because their parents want them to. Parents want to be able to reach their children easily in an emergency. However, beepers are not necessary. If parents need to reach their children in an emergency, they can always call the school office. Somebody may say there is a time on the beepers. They function as watches, but you don't need them. You can buy a watch, it may cost less than a beeper. In addition when the students carry beepers to school, they can be beeped during the classed. If the student gets beeped, not just the student, but the whole class, will be distracted from learning.

There is a student who brought a beeper to school. When the teacher was teaching, suddenly, the beeper beeped. All of the students turned over and looked at that student who got beeped. The class was distracted. Thus, I hope the beepers can be banned because school is a place to study. If you want to have a beeper, you can have it after school, just don't carry it to school.
