Mobile phone ban in Schools to start Jan/2022
 

They should be in bags and turned off in school, or alternatively there should even be a “storage room” for them during the school day (mini lockers) but insisting on them being left home simply isn’t going to work. It’s 2021 and it’s neither sensible nor safe for teenagers to be out miles from home without any means of contact. It’s not like there are pay phones they can use.

If they implement this my daughter will be doing the same as she has been for the last year and a half at primary school; phone on silent, in a hidden inside zip pocket of her bag. She’s thankfully not dumb enough to get it out in school or blab about it to her pals.

Where dose it say that phone are ban in school from Jan 2022 :conf:

…it’s smart phones specifically rather than mobile phones, I believe…children will still be contactable and be able to contact etc which is essential…but it’s more to prevent access to social media and the taking of highly expensive phones to school…

some things are unenforceable and this is one of them. Wait till the government gets sued because some kid gets abducted all because they couldnt use their phone

…can you imagine all of those alien beings sitting on their planets right now and shaking their heads in disbelief…oh look at those humans, it’s taken this time to create the technology to move forward in their safety …and they’re banning the use of it…yep, that’s our government….


…in any cases of abduction as bots said…?…technology available in phones has been hugely important…

it's not just the ability to call someone, its the tracking of the phone etc ... and that is best with a smart phone

…yeah that’s what I say, the technology of phones had been hugely important in abduction cases and it’s now being suggested that, that be scrapped in favour of more dated and inferior ‘brick technology’ ….only for our children, though…?…those people who are the most precious in our lives…?….

…keeping phones in bags during school hours except when a specific reason has been agreed is a solution but preventing children from having smartphones for their journeys to and from school is not a solution, it’s a badly thought out foolishness…

But as they leave the school
they get their phone back


No kid has been abducted in a school.

That will not happen.


That Commission will not get its wish

…the time required for staff to take 800/900 or whatever phones per day on arrival to school and return them on departure is so unworkable and unfeasible….yet another badly thought out plan from a badly put together government…

Where will a school safely store 1000 mobile phones every day in a way that it will not disrupt the start and end of every day when the pupils drop off / pick up the phones?

It's a shame they can't use a signal jammer during the school day but obviously as they rely on technology they can't do that.

I don't know what the answer is but I do know when my son starts high school next September 2022 and has to take a bus to school he will sure as hell have a phone on him

I sure that not true what about that girl a couple of years back

Yes that is wise sure sometime technology is bad but other time it can help

…no worries, he’ll miss his school buss, Annie as he’ll be queueing up to get his phone back at the end of the day…and we know those school buses have to leave on time …mind you, he probably wasn’t marked in as being at school anyway and marked as being absent while he was queueing up trying to hand his phone in, in the morning…

Weren't Sarah and Jessica Wells abducted from school?

I'm not sure if it was from school, but it was the caretaker..... It was only then that DBS checks were introduced.

As for phones in school....it's very hard to regulate. There's not a need for them during the school day unless in exceptional circumstances.

Schools will already have a policy for mobile phones and it should be up to the individual schools to review and implement this.

Predators will take advantage of any weakness, it's what they do

Yeah he was the school caretaker but they weren't in school when he killed them.

Who’s gonna have the job of collecting 1,200+ mobile phones - where on Earth will they be kept for safety (Covid19 and loss /damage) . It would take ages colllecting them in and distributing them ..

The ‘challenging ’ pupils would just swear that they hadn’t brought theirs in that day .

give them a basic nokia for school that only can make calls?

Great news....they are a massive distraction. They can collect their phones as they leave school...Im sure there is a system. My company issued every member of staff with a mobile phone and thats how we were allocated our jobs/breaks etc. We had many spares that were held in a 'mobile' locker which we could access by a security system. Something like this where they can be deposited at the beginning of the day and collected at the end.
I really dont know how we got home in one piece before mobiles were around...:laugh:


...if you think your child is unsafe walking to or from school then either take them and pick them up or get them to go with a friend. If someone is going to abduct them the first thing they are going to do is find and dump the mobile phone so they cant be tracked...

This is so ****ing stupid, whoever wants this implemented should go back to the Paleozoic era.

There are obviously a lot of dumb kids out there who spoil it for others....

they are called teachers
