thoughts on banning phones in school?
Post Body

i start school again in 4 days and they banned phones. you can still have them on site but if they see or hear them they get confiscated. this is my third year at this school and the reason theyā€™re banned is because people use them in class and record fights (both obviously against the rules). what do you think about it? i personally think itā€™s unfair.

edit: i didnā€™t mention that i donā€™t think itā€™s unfair to ban them in lessons. of course i agree with that, you shouldnā€™t use them in lesson.

edit 2: iā€™ll make this even more clear because people are telling me ā€œitā€™s not ok to use them in class!!ā€ I KNOW. they were banned before in class and i donā€™t care, i donā€™t think you should use your phone in class. iā€™m annoyed because we canā€™t use them at breaks. ā€œyou shouldnā€™t be on your phone for 7 hours a day anyway!!ā€ iā€™m notā€¦ in school i WOULD use it 30 minutes a day at most (obviously about an hour more at home).

edit 3: i live in england for everyone who wanted to know

it's literal hell for introverts. all i did throughout middle/high school was read and listen to music to drown out bullies. if i wasn't able to access my phone and had to just sit at my desk and take the torment i wouldve offed myself.

also, kids need their phones to text their parents their last words in the case of an emergency.
