So at Emmanuel Macron's election campaign he spoke about he would ban the mobile phones. And now it is going to be a reality. From september 2018 there will be a zero policy about mobile phones. They may not even use it during their brakes!
Quote:
The French headteachers’ union was skeptical that the ban could be enforced.
And so am i. This ban may cause furious children, parents and teachers. It seems like to me that they are going to be way more strict and that might not be a good thing for the youngsters at the age of 7-15. The psycologic transition at that state says they are very curious and are about to develope alot of things. At the year of 7 they start slowly to discover their feelings and without the control yet it could get very bad for the pupils in general. The phone is a part of the network you are going to make when you get older. It starts there.
If they use the phone during the school, it will be taken away and handed back when the day is over. That means if every pupil is going to use their phone during the day which might happen. Then the principal might have a tough time giving the right phone back to the right pupil.
What are your thoughts on the banning?
