My teacher told me I couldn’t carry a calculator around with me in my pocket all the time

I say we ban school and put them to work earlier.

They can google anything they need to know.

Why the heck wouldn’t schools ban mobiles? Surely they all do.

How about a few communal phones?

They’re on a security rope like in the phone shops. Those with good behaviour get a reward of one Facebook status update, one snapchat or an Instagram upload.

I think we’d see a drastic improvement on behavioural standards

Then you'll have some parents complaining on Facebook how terrible the school is because they took their childs phone off them. "My child could have died and they'd have no way to contact me!! That school is awful, putting our children in danger like that"

Then all their friends hitting like and slagging off the teachers saying how bad they are. I've seen similar unfortunately.

Excellent! So the French will grow up an ignorant nation who can’t use Google will Britain nurtures generations who can remain pig ignorant but know how to use Google to get info they need! Therefore the French will waste time learning stuff they could just find online and their economy will collapse while we surge forward as a google-based knowledge economy fit for the 22nd century. Who the hell would want to live in France anyway! Just the land of overpriced wine and bad-foot-smelling cheese!

They're already banned in a lot of schools here although policing this is a whole different matter. Kids will find ways of using them

I think it's a great idea. Don't know if they could get wifi/ mobile signal blockers.

When I was a lass they didn't even have cars, let alone phones. We had to use morse code to tell our thousands of followers what we had for lunch.

They do get taken off them but they can still use in toilet cubicles and other areas where teachers aren't present

I would freak out if my kids couldn't take phones to school. They have a 30 minute walk to and from school! I need to know they are able to contact me if they need to and vice versa.

They have to turn them off when they get there and if they get them out they are confiscated until the following Monday, that's good enough for me.

How about sacking the teacher who allows a child to be on Facebook during lessons.

Not if there's a policy of taking them in at the start of the day and not giving them back until the end of day.

Better to micro manage and bang out more unenforceable rules than actually engage kids in learning.

In my grandson's school the year 6 pupils who walk home alone hand theirs in at the beginning of the day, and get them back at home time.

These policies exist. But unfortunately teachers can't catch every child flaunting the rules

True but you don't completely abandon rules and regulations just because some slip through the net.

The fact you had a mobile phone at school has suddenly made me feel very old.

Micro managing is not engaging. Kids will rebel when they're told they can't do something, trying to force rules on to them and then wanting them to look up to, respect and bond with those teaching them isn't going to happen.

Great Idea, social media has far to much influence on our kids,so this may help.

Plus, I always prefer a French Letter
