Coming back from school tho..and even if it hasn't happened yet, potential is there which is enough to mitigate risk. It's not just abduction anyway. Could have any number of things they need to contact you about, or vice versa. Along with tracking as has been mentioned.

No phones at all in unenforceable as parents won't allow it tbh, for good reason. Off/silent through the day and if caught messing on class, detention or something I think most reasonable parents would agree to.

As a responsible parent, I would call that safeguarding but if you call that throwing in the towel fair enough. I'm happy enough to wear that badge as I said
Well I don't know about anyone else but I was sitting her wondering why you're always throwing towels Annie, so rude

If someone wants to abduct a kid so bad they will just pick them up and throw the phone away...

The reason people don't abduct so much these days is probably down to the advanced CCTV operation the conservative government has put together.

Bullies, well by the time your kid is phoning you they will already have been bullied.

It's not just bullying or abduction though....as I said I wouldn't leave home without my phone in case of an emergency so why should I send my kid out with no way of contacting anyone if he needed someone for any reason.

…I don’t think that anyone is objecting to the ban of any use of mobile phones in school unless there was a specific emergency type reason that had been agreed…it’s more the travelling to and from school and there are lots of reasons why children can need a phone….for medical reasons for instance or they may not be going directly home…so a parent needs to know if their child has got to their destination okay…I mean even at primary school level, there are many reasons why some children need and have to have phones for their school journey and obviously much more so at higher school level …it’s really more, how the system of ‘no phones’ will work during the school day and I assume some schools will have lockers systems etc…but that’s something that the schools will all have to work out individually as there won’t be a one size fits all schools system for phone storage….

Really at the end of the day, there’s no way to actually impose a ban anyway without repeatedly searching through kids stuff which is 1) not allowed and an invasion of privacy and 2) impossible in terms of time and resources… kids will just bring them anyway and keep them in their bag.

They weren’t allowed at my daughter’s primary school but most kids had them for the final two years… and by the end the teachers knew fine well they had them, it was just a sort of unspoken agreement of “we know it’s in your bag, but so long as it’s not seen on school grounds no one is going to say anything”.

It would just end up like that everywhere; people would have them in their bag on silent. How would anyone know?

The one thing they did come down on hard was if anyone was ever caught taking pictures/making videos in school. I think it happened twice in 2 years though.

Well I admire your optimistic view on the fact you think you're having an honest and good faith discussion.

To spend a full evening discussing it, I am hopeful there is reasoning behind it. We are adults and discussing children, their safety and their education. I refuse to be cynical and think someone would invest time to just troll.an opinion on it. Hopefully LT will prove me right.

Default Mobile phone ban in Schools to start Jan/2022

LT has changed his mind because he realised that the school kids could use their phones to go on YouTube and learn how to peep out Orange marching tunes on their recorders in music class?

…back in the day, not that long ago actually…we had a 3 tier system with a middle school before high school and that middle school life would begin in what is primary year 5 now…?…that was ‘big school’…..now ‘big school’ is high school which begins in year 7 …but once at middle school, many children (…with parental consent…)….would travel to and from school independently of parents …when it was all changed to a two tier system, primary schools had to offer that same independence that had been previously given and incorporate it into their system for years 5 and...so children had the option (…with parental consent…)…of walking or cycling home without a parent…that’s another thing, a child could fall off their bike and need to contact someone….but anyway, yeah that’s when the ‘you can bring a phone into school, in fact we’d prefer you did’ policy began at our school for those children who were walking or cycling home without a parent…those phones are kept in the school office in a safe but that can be done on a small scale ….not obviously if most of the pupils are taking their phones in as in a high school…

Amazing how a thread can become so personal for no reason.

Worst of all though, we have non parents telling parents they are **** parents for deciding to not allow their kids to go to school with a mobile phone.


Absolutely disgusting

We also have parents telling parents that they are below the bar for allowing their kids to take a phone for safety reasons without giving a valid opinion on why mobile phones should be left at home.

I think you got a bit muddled up in your effort to defend yourself.


Lt seems to be talking about having phones in school ,and you agree with him on that, your issue seems to be about the journey to and from school, which isnt the same as what LT was saying.

That's how I read it anyway.

I don’t think anyone has an issue with banning phone usage in schools. Outright banning pupils having mobile phones on them at all is ridiculous and anyone that actually agrees with that is just trolling

How did kids ever survive in the 70s 80s and early 90s...the days of proper bullying and proper abduction..

How on earth did they survive.
