But on the other hand, I want also to warn them in regards with their health using this mobile technology. Because, mobile phones use electromagnetic radiation in the microwave range, which some believe may be harmful to human health.

Why not have your lessons wherever you may be? I wish that I could have had that when I was growing up. Sometimes I really did not want to go to school. School is just not for everybody. Even in the US we are still struggling to send our kids to school. We have to pay for lunch, uniforms, field trips, day-care and anything else that the student may need. It is probably cheaper to pay for a cell phone each month. People may want the children in Africa to use laptops or desktops, but let’s face it–everyone does not have the resources to buy them or travel to where they are. Cell phones are at their fingertips and it is the one thing that they can be responsible for. If you choose not to go to school or forget to pay your bill, then who can you blame? Maybe your education was not worth fighting for.
