Phones banned in schools?

[Hulk's iconHulk]

In New Zealand they're banned and the teachers are meant to enforce it but just the other day a teacher asked a student for their phone and the teacher got attacked 🤷

No mobiles existed when I was in high school or before.

My sons' school allows them to have the phone in their locker (or schoolbag) but if they use it during class without teacher permission, or if it makes a sound during class (notifications etc), they get detention.

Should mobile phones be banned in schools? Why or why not?

No.

What happens if you have a school shooting? You have students with the ability to dial 911.
