No idea why this was not enforced sooner.
Absolute no reason to have phones in class rooms

Yeahhh we’re not gonna obey this, what are they going to do? Arrest children? Keep phones turned off in bags for when needed after school
They can get in the bin

I would prefer the police stop knife crime and shoplifting etc rather than checking kids phones are in their bags.

It’s as usual with a lot of these things – good idea, bad execution. I like the idea in theory but I’ve always felt the need for there to be a realistic midpoint between allowing phones all the time which leads to disinterest, or disallowing phones which leads to a lack of contact in an emergency.

So how are teachers going to use factor authentication for all ghe software they use?

I swear people just dont bother to actually read the article.
>At the moment the department says schools should ban the devices, but head teachers are able to ignore the advice if they disagree. A DfE spokesperson said: „We have been consistently clear that mobile phones have no place in schools, and the majority already prohibit them. This amendment makes existing guidance statutory, giving legal force to what schools are already doing in practice.“
It’s to make sure schools follow the guidance, not about arresting kids or any such bollocks.

My school enforced the ban in 2014, no phones on break or lunch, nowhere

So does this mean they cannot be taken to school at all or just they can’t be on show during class? The latter is what every school I’m aware of does currently

I deleted my other comment, because there is a point that schools can contact children in emergencies, but I still don’t think most parents will accept this.

I’d like to hear about how they’ll enforce this one. What are teachers going to do, call the police if 15 year old Jack takes his phone off the desk? It’s hardly arson, robbery or conspiracy to commit manslaughter.

Good. No reason for there to be phones in classrooms, they’re disruptive to learning and more likely to be a target for bullying if children don’t have a socially acceptable one.
If parents need to get in touch with kids for an emergency, they can contact reception like they used to when I was a kid.
