 "Strict rules for children in America, China, Japan, cannot take mobile phones to school, get punishment")
New Delhi (GK, Mobile Phones Banned in Schools): Until a few years ago, the use of smartphones was limited. But now with the technology being updated every day, it is difficult to imagine life without a smartphone. From waking up in the morning to sleeping at night, everyone is dependent on this mobile for many tasks. School children also do their homework with the help of mobiles. Many schools also send children’s homework to a mobile app.
Recently, a 8th standard student committed suicide (smartphone addiction) in Gujarat’s Surat district. His mother had asked him for a mobile phone for some time. Saddened by this, the girl embraced death. In view of this matter, the education minister of the state of Gujarat has decided to ban the use of mobile phones in schools. In many countries, including America, Australia, Japan, China, there is already a ban on the use of smartphones in schools.
What’s the problem with bringing a phone to school?
Lack of concentration is seen in children who bring smartphones to school. Their main focus is on notifications, social media and games on the phone. In a research, 70% of teachers admitted that the use of mobile phones in class is causing children to lose focus in studies. In US states like New York, California and Texas, phones are not allowed in class. If a student brings a phone, it has to be deposited with the school administration.
