ReplyDeleteI think it was a good idea for France to ban cell phones from school, because people won’t get distracted by them and be late for class. Also, people will be able to talk to each other more and not look at screens all the time. Another good thing about banning cell phones, is that people won’t damage it in their lockers or lose it a school. The downfalls of not having a cell phone at school, is if it’s an emergency and you need to call somebody, you won’t have a phone to call them right away.
ReplyDeleteI think that's a good reason not to have a phone but what about the people who the bus and they need to be able to communicate with there parents.
Deletebut if you think about it, most schools will have a phone in which you can communicate with anyone you need to, such as your parents, friends and etc,so i guess its ok to not have a phone
DeleteI think its a good idea to band phones in school until grade 7 but I don't think its a good idea to not let kids have a phone in school for high school because most kids start taking buses and they want to go to places by them selves and without a phone its hard to communicate with your parents.One thing I do agree on is the fact that you are not allowed phones from kindergarten until seven because phones are a distraction in class and I don't find it necessary for a child who is under 11 to have a phone unless they need it because they take a bus or because they are away from there parents.
ReplyDeleteI think France was smart to ban phones, because if you think about it, you really dont need one until you start high school, because i dont think kids under the age of 11 will be taking the city bus, or having after school practices and tryouts, however once you get into high school i think it is necesarry for all the reasons i have mentioned. However if there is an emergency, you wont be able to contact anyone immediately. However most schools will usually have a phone in the office, or the teachers will have one on them. Something i find unfair however, is that teachers have their phones on them while we can’t. Even though they rarely use them.
ReplyDeleteI do agree that teachers always have their cell phones and we can’t, but I think it’s because they’re adults and they can have cell phones and they won’t get distracted by them. Students on the other hand get easily distracted by their phones and are late for class.

ReplyDeletei think its a very clever idea. Althought teachers have their phones on them and we cant. one time I was doing class work and I saw my teacher scrolling on his phone and I thought that we should have the privilege of bringing our phones to class but you cannot be on them. Why? because yesterday I found my locker unlocked in the morning and I thought : what if this happened during the day your phone,could of gotten stolen. I know many kids in elementary who have phones and bring them to school and leaves them in their locker, but I dont think kids should have phones until the age of 12-13. Most schools have phones in the principals office. But I think ( just for the safety of our phones ) that we should have our phones with us most of the time.
ReplyDeleteI am fine with them banning phones from kids but i think they should allow kids to use phones starting from grade 6 because kids would be more mature so they wouldn't be on there phone for ever they would use them properly so i'm fine with them banning phones but in also not with them.
ReplyDeletewell obviously kids spend too much time on their phones at home.Imagine if they were aloud to bring them to class!I am happy we get to leave them in our locker though because what if we have an after school activity and we need to contact our parents. You need to have your phone. So i disagree with them completely banning them but in my opinion we should be allowed to bring them but leave them in our lockers not to class.I also believe we should be aloud to have them at lunch and recess because its our break and we should be able to have them.
