Banning cellphones in schools

[Gizmo]

So today is the first day of the second school term in New Zealand and so the law for banning cellphones in schools has taken effect.

While I understand that this may be good especially to get kids to interact with one another and to no longer have fights and bullying filmed during school time with students I find it unfair that the teachers and school staff have to police this especially when they've got a lot of other stuff to worry about and a lot of teachers have more students than they should due to funding in New Zealand.

If your country decided to ban cellphones during school time in schools do you think it would work?

They're already doing it here in the states. My town especially. A lot of kids do abuse the privilege and won't do what they're supposed to do.
