@goodmorningbritain: The government is set to introduce a formal ban on mobile phones in English schools to ensure 'critical safeguarding legislation' is enacted. This move transforms existing guidance into a statutory requirement, a step ministers had previously resisted. #phoneban #mobilephoneban #school #schools
Ban bullying and weapons before banning mobile phones

Kids don’t need phones, we lived without them during school with no issues. 🤷

I don’t believe in banning them completely, but I do agree they need to be put away properly during lessons

For centuries kids never had mobiles at school yet still managed to survive to and from. Now everyone claims its a must to have phones on them.

are you all forgetting that mobile phones weren't always a thing. Children even adults used to leave the house without being in constant contact with everyone. Technology is ruining people man

I understand children shouldn’t be using them during school hours but to not take them for safety reasons walking to and from school is ridiculous!

Didn't have mobile phones when I was growing up at schools. They're not needed.
It will do youngsters a lot of good keeping them from staring at phone screen all day.

No no no no no a child’s safety is more important than the school headteacher rules. One receptionist can not contact every parent in an emergency
