  • As a school student in a school where phones are banned, I think this is a bad idea. The ban achieves 2 things for me:

    1. Making it harder to check a fact or figure quickly.

    2. Preventing me from listening to music, playing games or browsing the web uring lunch break.

    It DOES NOT stop me from becoming disengaged from the class! If I’m bored, I’ll look out the window, play with a calculator or something similar. And of course the ban hasn’t stopped many students using phones anyway. Maybe phone bans don’t solve the issue of uninteresting classes after all?
