Comment on France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schools

  Lots of type 1 diabetics now use their smartphones to keep track of their numbers, they use them to work out carbohydrates, the phones also warn them of high numbers and potentially fatal lows. So yes they do need phones.

  Also a teacher having a mobile phone doesn’t help one iota.

    Yay, you mayhaps found a possible potential exception to a rule.

    Main point still stands, and yeah, teachers can have a smart phone as long as it’s on do not disturb during teaching hours. If it’s not for a few times, you discipline the teacher. It’s not that hard.

    Either way, no phones in class. Students need a no distraction environment and they do not need TikTok or whatever is the craze right now
