Should mobile phones be banned from the classroom?

The government has issued guidance to schools in England on how to deal with mobile phones, suggesting policies ranging from a blanket ban, to allowing pupils to keep their phones as long as they aren't used.
Sky's political correspondent Rob Powell reports.

    Surely it wouldn't be difficult to add 'schools' into the title. Is it laziness or deliberate clickbait?

    As a parent of two teenage daughters, I agree they should be banned from school (switched off), but in the dangerous world we live in I’d rather they have them on when they are on their way home so at least I know they’re safe.

    We had the rule of leaving your phone in your locker, but I deliberately didn't follow it. I'm autistic and have ADHD, so it caused a lot of problems for me when I did try to follow that rule. I'd often forget it, and then realise on the train home, or go and get it and miss the train my close friend from another school caught because all the lockers were together in the far end of the school and it was a nightmare having to get to it. Fortunately I never forgot it on the days where both I was travelling alone and the trains were having issues. When I was having sensory issues, I'd listen to some music on my phone during break time, because it really helps. Being able to manage myself was difficult despite this easy solution, because a lot of the teachers just followed the rule regardless. Also since I have very little natural way of filtering out background noise when working, being able to listen to music was great for my my ability to focus. Some of my most productive lessons were with teachers who let me listen to music. Just have your phone on silent or fully off and never leave your pocket without a good reason would solve a lot of "distraction" issues. As for bullying, both cyber and real life needs more help.

    Banning phones just leads to a lack of impulse control as adults. I work in a school and we often make use of mobile phones in lessons but only when the teacher explicitly allows their use. I think these guidelines are completely out of touch with modern society, just like everything else the Tories do.
