I couldn't agree with this article more.
Allowing teenagers to have phones at school does not help them learn to self regulate. In fact neuroscientists have found that when teenagers have time away from phones, they have greater self regulation as adults.
Also, it is harder not easier for teachers when students have phones in class as they are distracting.

I love this article!
Global, large-scale, academic research shows that having phones at school increases bullying, both cyber and real life, and decreases academic results.
A telegraph poll showed that 90% of people want phones banned in high schools. Over 25,000 people have signed a petition to the government to ban phones in high schools.
Is there any way that we could get the information out to people who signed that poll that Labour and some Independents have promised to remove phones from NSW schools if they are voted in?
This way people can vote to remove the phones or ask their candidate to support banning phones.
I have researched this subject and put this website together if you are interested https://smartphonesinschools.com/
