A teacher has shared an “eye opening” post to show just how disruptive mobile phones in the classrooms are. The high school teacher, from the US, asked her students to turn their phones on loud for one class just to see how many notifications they get. Every time they received a notification, the students went up and put a tally mark under a category, which included Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, X , emails, text messages, phone calls and other.
In Australia, mobile phones are currently banned in all state schools, as well as many Catholic and independent schools around the country. Last year, the NSW Government banned the use of phones in public schools during the day – including at recess and lunch. Phones either need to be in lockers, kept in school bags or at the front office, out of sight, until the end of the day.
