Read this writing prompt. Write an argumentative essay about whether kids should be allowed to bring cell phones to school. Based on the prompt, which claim is the strongest? Cell phones are helpful tools that allow people to easily access information and stay organized. In the latest survey, 78 percent of kids asked said that they believed they should be allowed to bring cell phones to school. Schools should not allow kids to bring cell phones because they are too much of a distraction. Not every kid can have a cell phone because they are expensive and many kids do not have jobs.
