Claim: "Students should not be allowed to use their cellphones in class" Which is an example of a counterargument?

Allowing students to use cellphones in class can help them review for tests.

Cellphones are distracting to students.

Cellphones are very nice to communicate with family around the world.

The counterargument to Stephanie's claim is: " Allowing students to use cellphones in class can help them review for tests" How should Stephanie respond? Remember: her claim(argument) is that students should NOT be allowed to use cellphones in class.

While cellphones can be used for games to review for tests, it is not a good excuse to allow them in class. There are better ways to review for tests without using cellphones.

Allowing students to use cellphones in class improves students' grades and is the best way to review for tests.
