Mandate a no phone policy in school. Hand in/ out at the start/end of each day.
To create a check in and check out facility for students to hand in their phones at the start of each day and to collect when leaving the school.
Following the documentary, adolescence, and a number of complaints from both students and teachers, it is clear that mobile phones are effecting our children’s mental health, and ability to learn and concentrate in school.
It creates so much pressure on teachers and leads to a toxic environment where teachers have to consistently tell the students to put their phones away.
