...well, it's often said...'life skills' is the thing and should be a concentration in schools and there is no more a huge part of life than a mobile phone..so banning them would seem the most dumb thing and would teach nothing of a 'life skill' there..it's more allowing them and teaching when it's appropriate/not appropriate to use it in school...

..ok so we'll ban them from streets only while people are walking so they're not distracted and don't bump into anyone...we'll ban them from restaurants while people are eating with others and shouldn't be distracted by their phones...etc etc....it teaches more of a self discipline lesson to have them and teaches far more of a 'life skill' than banning them would...very few schools would have the funding to provide enough tablets needed...

its OK to bump into people. They are not Outright Banned only once the Teacher starts the lesson It makes good sense. |

..and how would it be known that they had 'turned off in unity' without checks being done and lesson time being taken up for those checks..and then of course, looking at individual reasons and explanations why a pupil may need to have their phone switched on at a particular time etc...while all the while OFSTED also insisting on statistic attainments/targets as well to be reached so all lesson time is important to be dedicated to the lesson subject...mobile phones are a fact of life and so is self discipline so a far better thing to teach..let's not as they say, produce 'drones' in our schools..let's teach them to use their own initiative etc...

The classroom should be a phone free environment , it should be accepted as such from the beginning . No phones allowed in places of teaching a simple golden rule that would eliminate this problem at a stroke.

But in some situations it can be a great way of learning. Students are doing more or their own research rather than answering endless textbook questions or listen to their teacher ramble on. It's the same with computers and laptops but why should the schools spend thousands on them when kids have their own phones. If they can be properly monitered then there really is in issue

They can't be monitored though that is the issue... teachers can't be hanging over the shoulder of every student or sat at the back micromanaging the devices can they? It's unworkable.

..well, too much emphasis..(imo of course..)..being placed on the fact that they're phones when they're also a free classroom technology resource/computer as well as being calculators etc..so if they're banned then maybe OFSTED can supply funding to replace that free resource....strangely, an odd concept maybe but most students actually want to learn in their lessons, rather than spend time texting friends who are also in their lessons and wanting to learn/ interested in learning...any student who has no interest in learning at all, then I doubt they would have any interest, whether they had their phones in lessons or not because those phones are not really their 'issue/problem' etc ...that's something that needs addressing separately ....

Well it can be put down to trust and often checking the progress of work,IF they've done little give them a textbook, or used in a lesson that's maybe nit that important for example doing a poster towards the end of term etc

Totally agree, it's just a little piece of plastic and glass that's all... And when the battery is flat or their is no signal it's about as much use as a chocolate fireguard or an ashtray on a motorbike .
