The Dutch government wants to ban smartphones from schools, both during lessons and during break times, as part of an approach to protect children better online. This measure should protect them against distractions in environments where they need to concentrate, State Secretary Willemijn Aerdts of Education and Emancipation announced on Monday.
The school still has phone numbers. If there’s an emergency, those phones should be used.
I fail to see the need for a phone inside the school.
