I PERSONALLY don’t agree with a possible ban on mobile phones for schoolchildren.
Kids need them nowadays to keep in contact with parents. What if they are walking to or from school and something happens or if the child decides to do after school club? It’s the only form of communication to their parents plus they need their phones to do their Covid tests.
My son has his phone in school everyday it’s switched off in lessons and turned on during breaks and dinner time.
