Banning mobile phones

In Schools, whatever is the world coming to

"Banning phones in class will make pupils anxious and lead to them behaving badly, a teaching union warned today as it criticised Gavin Williamson's bid to make schools 'mobile-free' zones.

The Education Secretary announced in June that he wanted to bring in a ban on phones in schools and launched a consultation on the plans, which could see pupils asked to leave their devices in lockers at the start of the day.

In response, the Association of School and College Leaders (ACSL) accused Mr Williamson of becoming obsessed about phones and suggested restrictions would 'trigger poor behaviour' among pupils"
