Mobile Phone Policies

[Val]

Hi all, Just a few questions regarding your school policy on mobile phones,
especially secondary schools.
Does your school have mobile phone usage policy?
Are students allowed to bring their mobile phones into the school?
Are they asked to turn off during school times?
Do you confiscate the phones if a student is found using them in school?

For schools that allow mobile phones
Are there any penalties for the inappropriate use of a mobile phone?
Are any schools encouraging the use of mobile phone apps for education in
class?
Are they allowed to access the school wifi?

It’s not a questionnaire just a general appeal to find out what other
schools are doing

Many thanks

Val

Hi Val,

We allow mobile phones. For several years, they were banned, it was really difficult to police it, students would find a quiet corner and use them and we felt we had to 'catch' them. 

Now they can use them at lunch time and before and after school. The rule is that the phone is to be turned off and out of sight during class (we know well the students just have them on silent in their pockets though). 

I think that it works reasonably well and I definitely prefer it to having the phones banned. We haven't encountered any misuse such as bullying that I'm aware of. We certainly do get students using them when they're not supposed to, such as between classes or sneaking a look in their pocket during class. We confiscate phones if they are using them during class. Such phones are given to management and parents must call in to have the phone returned.

In general they use them at break and lunch responsibly and sociably - it's more usual to see 3 or 4 students looking at one phone and chatting about it than to see a row of individuals each on their own phone.  

They can't access wifi, (we bring a router to class if we want them to do so for educational purposes) so I think that reduces the attraction of being on their phones hugely for them.

At my son's school, he tells me the boys access the wifi all the time - I have repeatedly said it to the principal and IT teachers, they think that regular changes of the wifi password are sufficient, but teachers then just tell the password to any student who needs it for educational use and they of course pass it on. The boys nip out 'to toilet' just to update their facebook.

Mobile phones have such power - zillions more than the early computers we all owned!
