They shouldn't because if any thing happens on the journey to school the child cannot contact the police if it was serious

I think you should be allowed a LITTLE bit of time on your phones ??, as well as essential phone calls, but apart from that, you don't really need them ?, and they are right, we do spend too much time on our phones, it would be good to have some time without them ? ❌?

I think students should leave them somewhere in the morning and fetch them at the end of the day.

NO BUT THEY SHOULD NOT BE SEEN DURING SCHOOL TIME

I think that college should ban mobile phone's in studying time,so that the students do not become to obsessed with them.

No, if your bus is late, or it's just raining heavily or something like that then you ou wouldn't be able to contact your parents.

Kids can have fun and go on their phones at breaks, but no phones is like saying no breaks.

Yes because you don't concentrate on the lesson, and no because if anything happens on the way to and from school,they might need a phone to call their parents for help. so I think that they are allowed to bring them to school, but I think they need to put their phones in the 'phone box' and that they are given out at the end of the day.

I really disagree!!! you need to have a bit of time on your phone - and that is coming from a person who would rather have all the books in the world than all of the phones in the world!? In my secondary school, we are only allowed phones outside of the school buildings. If you are caught with a phone, you automatically get a consequence!!! I'm fine with the rule because it means we are more focused on learning than our modern technology.

I don't think ? so

Messing around on phones at break is not good. Anyway, if phones were allowed, people wouldn't concentrate in lesson and the people who don't have phones or can't get games on them will be bored all break because everyone else is glued to their screen like zombies. However if something happens, you will need a mobile phone. So I say mobile phones should just stay in your bag then when you NEED them you can contact parents.

They should not because say if something happens to them or they get lost they will need to call their parents or the police

eeeeee

The only reason I voted 'No' was because sometimes they might need to contact home. But I do think schools should encourage people to use their phones less, and they definitely shouldn't be allowed during lessons.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I mean... These are the reasons for both
Yes= If Someone Was hert or injured before school or on the way to school then you wouldn't be able to phone someone for help
No= They are mushing people brains up to slime

No, Students should be able to go on there phones during break but probably in a lesson no phones!

in our school you hand your phone into the office in the morning , and only use it for emergency in the day, and then you get it back at the end of the day so you can phone people after school if you need to, and I think this is quite a good idea actually

No, because if anything happened to the child and they needed to contact someone like their parents then nobody would know if they weren't allowed to have a phone on them. I agree that phones shouldn't be used in class because it just distracts people from getting a good education.
At my school we have a rule that phones can be there at school, but just not used in lesson in case of an extreme emergency. I think its a good idea

THESE SCHOOLS ARE THERE TO GIVE LESSONS AT SCHOOL AND DURING THEIR GIVEN BREAK AND LUNCH TIMES, STUDENTS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DO AS THEY PLEASE, AS LONG AS IT IS NOT ABSURD. IT IS NOT ABSURD TO GO ON YOUR PHONES DURING THE BREAK AND LUNCH TIMES, AND IT WOULD NOT ALSO HELP BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE CHILD WILL HAVE SOMETHING IMPORTANT TO DO ON THEIR PHONES. THIS ARGUMENT IS JUST DUMB

Mobile phones should be banned at primary school but at secondary school they shouldn't. The school should have rules about using them and make sure the children know how to use them safely and sensibly.

my school doesn't let years 7 +8 use phones unless you have permission to use it for an emergency, and it's always been like that. it's not a big deal.

It's important to have a phone in case of emergency but I think that we do rely to much on phones.

Young people are getting addicted to social medias and games on their phones - it would make them concentrate better in class.

stefano- good for you. :)

oliver j, i totally agree.

Why on Earth would you need a phone IN school.

If some people don't have the latest phone model it can make them feel divided from everyone else.

no

You need a phone if someone fogets to pick you up otherise you will be stranded

you should be allowed to call in emergancies but nothing else

The school I go to let’s us take our phones around with us, but in lessons we are made to put them in a little box so we don’t get distracted.

the rule about banning phones in school is POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!!!!!!

I totally get why this college did this but I think mobile phones shouldn't be a thing that people are baning! Mobile phones are mobile phones they are a little gadget that people use for communticating and playing on I think we should not spend too much time on it but a little is ok!

NO!!!!!!

Yes and no, maybe when in lessons, have them taken away or somehow work something out, but we may need them when walking to and from school, and my school lets us use them in class sometimes to research or play live quizzes...
(I don't mind my opinion being posted in your magazine first news.)

I don't think they should because most parents like to know where you are after school if you walking home yourself.

As long as schoolkids aren't on their phones during lessons, there is no reason to ban them. Phones are for contacting people, and are very handy if there's an emergency - they're not just some fancy gadget for kids to play on.

Phones should not be banned at school because when children leave school they might not see their friend again.

It just doesn't work! My school band phones but I and everyone else takes them into sxhool and uses them anyway

My school has a strict phone policy anyway.

No,because you should talk to people instead of texting or phoning them

if they r using their phones for a good reason , there is no reason why they should not be allowed to have their phones in school

Our school already had but I don’t agree with it

I don't think that they should . There could be particular days, moments etc that phones are banned but not completely

Kids nee is there phones in school because if they had an accident they could call there parents and ask them to come and get them. I voted NO !!!!!

Children in schools/colleges should only use mobile phones to call their parents if there is an emergency and the teachers can not get to your parents but other wise you shouldn't have mobile phones in school/college (to play games or those sorts of things).

Yes !!! They can cause cyber bullying.

No, because if something was worrying them or someone was offering drugs (or peer pressure) they would probably want to contact their parents.
