Mobile phones have revolutionised communication in recent years and this has had an impact in schools, both positive and negative.

However, there are some negative impacts including the obvious disruption to lessons caused by mobile phones, as well as the sharing of indecent images.

5. Conclusion Mobile Phones do more harm than good in schools. Discuss. In conclusion, there are various arguments which suggest that mobile phones do more harm than good although there are also some benefits. On the one hand, mobile phones unquestionably make for easier communication between parents and their children and can be of great use in cases of emergency. However, perhaps the drawbacks outweigh the benefits as the huge disruption they can cause in lessons can impact upon pupils’ learning. Furthermore, the increase in cyber-bullying cases in schools in recent years has been huge, showing that perhaps mobile phones are creating more problems that they solve. IN addition, in the past education has functioned fine without the need for pupils to carry mobile phones. Overall, mobile phones definitely do more harm than good in schools as they have had a negative impact on learning and on pupil welfare.
