Of course I was berated.
I can see zero reason for a pupil to take a phone to school, and lots against.
There is usually the ( bull…t ) reasoning of “ what if there’s an emergency?
Take away the phones, get children and young adults conversing with each other and playing more sports, teach more useful skills , get our younger generation ready for the world instead of churning out zombies more interested in tik tok and only fans .
Being a teacher these days must be one of the toughest jobs out there.
