RE: The Hidden Danger of Allowing Phones in Schools
Well, different strokes for different folks. As much as phones can distract people, a complete ban on phones may lead to collateral damage to skills. What happens is that while other students are developing skillfully and evolving, others without such opportunity will be kind of laid back, technology-wise. This is because the knowledge they share during school hours would not wait till they get home. Some opportunities, learnings, and skills are time-bound. Cheers!

I never said a complete ban on phones,just doing school hours..
And if you think that will stop them from developing skills, those who were given access to phones during school hours, what skills have they use it to develop? They would prefer chatting with friends and games than learn on their own, infact most students are not designed to learn on their own...
And your point is valid, just that it is already been taking care of, we have computer studies in school and during that time, they can learn skills with the school laptop... Mobile is a distraction...
I agree phones shouldn't be aĺlowed during school hours just the same way it is not allowed in factories during working and production hours.
I said they can be allowed access to the phone during extra lessons.
However for schools that already made that provision through the use of laptops and CBTs, that's cool.
All learning isn't learning oo until the child can independently prove that skill.
