Should mobile phones be banned in school ?

Parents think that mobile phones ruin children's education. Are they really that bad? They have the whole internet in their hands and it helps with their education. However children like to play games on their phones and that distracts them from their learning. What should we do about them?

They should be banned as children are addicted to them! Once they are on them its hard to get them of it. Also they run out of battery because their on them for ages. Something needs to be done about them!

Phones are very good because you can contact people. If you was lost you would have no-one to call to come and collect you. Furthermore everyones parents would want to know if they were at school safely and without mobile phones parents would have no idear.

The games on phones are loud and noisy and that distracts other people from working as well as themselves! Many teachers think that as soon as they have done the input children have no idea what to do. This must stop !

Mobile phones have the whole internet, if a child doesn't understand they could go to the internet to help understand more fully. As well as that they are doing a bit more extra homework!

I would go against as i think children can learn so much more and parents would know they are safely at school. What side are you on ?
