The 360 | Should phones be banned from schools?
Starting this year, students at San Mateo High School south of San Francisco will be part of a pilot program looking to find an answer to a question that has vexed educators for years: Does it make sense to ban cellphone use at school?
A phone ban in Ontario, Canada, is set to go into effect next month. And in June, legislators in California passed a law allowing the state’s school districts to implement their own phone prohibitions.Smartphones are considered by many educators to be a major impediment to learning and a scourge on the classroom environment.
Others say the bans are a mistake. Since phones are everywhere, goes the logic, schools would be better off teaching kids to utilize the technology as a learning tool. There is also evidence that bans are difficult if not impossible to enforce.
