You can.I did keep threading to ‘chip’ my daughter if she misbehaved when she was younger.
You can’t chip people dad
If any headteacher banned them there would be outcry……
Going from A to B used to involve a multitude of maps, atlases and searching for a telephone box....so much more convenient nowadays.

I seem to remember in the seventies, some churchy type rector, was trying to get those little war books banned as it invoked violence in kids. There was talk the same was to be said for shoot! magazine as it associated with the football hooliganism of the time(70s). Now, mobile phones are the root cause of everything

They should have one before they are allowed to cross the road on their own as a smart phone is like a forcefield and allows them to walk anywhere without looking!I found this story a little sad. I have mixed views about kids as young as 11 using smartphones especially at school, in the least I think they should be limited to certain times of the day given most kids seem use their phones to access social media which can have all sorts of mental health risks associated with it.
I can see their use for safety/keeping in touch with parents but do they need to have them whilst on school grounds?
At the end of the day, I think it is up to parents but should a child be disadvantaged/made to feel excluded in an educational environment because they don’t have one?
Smartphones: 'I feel guilty for not buying my daughter one for school'
A mum says her daughter came home in tears after she did not have a smartphone to use in a lesson.www.bbc.co.uk
I definitely did not like it. I used to have location stuff on but eventually I disabled it as I realised my parents were checking me literally every couple of minutes. I'd come home and they'd talk about how I was in this restaurant and on this specific road. Not acceptable imo.
then we had the video nasty making kids into muders and computer games making them violent introverts. back further pop music gave us problems with mods and rockers. there's always a problem with new stuff.Going from A to B used to involve a multitude of maps, atlases and searching for a telephone box....so much more convenient nowadays.

There is a growing body of evidence that the over-use of addictive smartphones when a child's neuroplasticity is high can have a significant impact on the brain's developmental processes, yes.
That's very interesting but where is the evidence that smart phones cause Neurodiversity?
I do indeed sometimes emergency jobs come through during the night. Unfortunately I have to respond to the customers who spend a lot during the year and expect me to turn up.
