This week the French government announced a ban on students using mobile phones in schools, following through on a pledge made by Emmanuel Macron during his presidential election campaign.
The new law will allow phones to be brought into school, but prohibit their use even during breaks. The French education minister, Jean-Michel Blanquer, said the measure was a “public health message to families”. Though not everyone agrees.
In 2015 the mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, lifted a 10-year ban on phones on school premises to “enable parents to stay in touch with their children” and “end the inequity under the current ban, which was enforced mostly at schools with metal detectors in low-income communities”.
The debate about access to mobile phones in schools is ongoing in the UK, where more than 90% of teenagers have mobiles. A recent study by the London School of Economics found that in schools where mobiles were banned, the test scores of 16-year-olds improved by 6.4% – the equivalent of adding five days to the school year, economists reckon.
Davies said the school was clear that the mobile phone can be a “brilliant tool” in the classroom, particularly because it’s easier to carry around than a laptop. “But phones were vibrating when a text came in or an Instagram. It was distracting the learning.”
Pupils returning in September were weaned off their mobile phones with the help of Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly and Cluedo, which pupils were encouraged to play in free time instead of indulging in social media or watching Youtube videos, in an attempt to revive socialising without screens.
Mobile phone use by children in years 7, 8 and 9 is banned. Year 10 pupils have three days a week with no phones and Year 11s oneday a week. “Our strategy is to wean pupils off their addiction to mobile phones while they are still relatively young, gradually allowing them more freedom to use phones as they get older so that they learn how to be responsible users,” said headteacher Richard Cairns when the policy was rolled out.
Pupils hand in their phones at 8am and can retrieve them at the end of the day. Sixth-formers are permitted to have mobile phones during breaks, but never outdoors. Cairns said he hoped the move would give parents concerned by the addictive nature of mobile phones “the impetus to follow suit at home and even in the holidays”.
Spread about 1 tablespoon of Green Goddess Herb Pesto onto each slice of bread. The pesto is strong, so if you’re sensPolyU has a strong record for collaborative research and innovative research in Asia to solve specific technology problems (e.g. aviation operations) and develop new productsitive to garlic or the slightly bitter taste of fresh kale, go light on the pesto.
On one slice of bread, add ¼ cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, baby spinach, sliced avocado, crumbled feta cheese, dashes of salt and pepper, the remaining ¼ cup of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, then top it with second slice of bread. Press together gently.

Remove Grilled Cheese Sandwich to plate, let cool, cut into halves, and serve. Hot sauce and little pickhifuled things like onions, cherry peppers, or other hot peppers alongside the sandwich are great!
