As a 35+ yr teacher mobiles in class are unnecessary, distracting and wasting a huge amount of learning time.

Of course! Teachers don’t need to be on them. Oh, and neither do kids.

Interestingly the Min for Ed in Ireland announced today that "parents and students are to be consulted on the use of smart phones in schools"https://www.education.ie/en/Press-Events/Press-Releases/2018-press-releases/PR2018-04-04.html …

Sounds like a process underway. Will check where they land. Thanks.

Well they are in the school I teach at - and it’s working out great. We’re reclaiming literacy and motor skill capabilities and strengthening students’ social capacities and abilities to focus on one thing - all of which are degraded with the use of phones in class

Recently my school has banned them! What a difference it has made to their concentration, participation and social interactions! They are still used at the teacher's request if needed in class for an activity.
