disagree side:
Rachel Williams
we use cellphone for not only email but also Internet, so if elementary school student use it, they will go dangerous website. For example, when they do net shopping, there is possibility to be swindled.


Rie Chein
If they have cellphone, their eyes will bad and they don't come to play outside. Also they play a lot of games by it for a long time, so they waste so many times by using it.


Kate Hail
They have a lot of things to learn, but they spend using cellphone a lot of times and waste times. They should spend time more effectively.

She got married, and has her son. Also she and her husband are double income, so her son always stays at home with alone. She can contact with her son when natural disaster happens or she wanna know where her son is , and something by using cellphone. Moreover cellphone have skill of GPS, so even if emergency accident happen, she can get information about her son.

Recently crime increases during going school. So the students use crime prevention buzzer in it when accident happen.

My opinion
I felt this discussion was good , but a little bit about it, there were a lot of unclear things. Also there were so many times when the people kept silent, so you guys should try to discuss more and more positively.Recently it is natural thing that young people have their own cellphone, but I think cellphone is useful, but on the other hand, cellphone has a lot of risks.
However after I considered each cases, I think all of people have it.
