A #Sydney #High_School #BANNED #MOBILE_PHONES. It had dramatic results.
#Davidson High School principal David Rule said there had been significant changes since students in years 7 to 10 were banned from using mobile phones at #school.
“#Classrooms have effectively become #phone_free and this has allowed staff to #focus on #educating students,” he said in a school newsletter. “Finally, in eight weeks of the policy, there has been a 90 #per_cent #reduction in #behavioural issues related to phones...”
“The pouch also allowed our staff to use them when necessary as an #explicit_teaching #tool for a particular lesson,” he said.

“At a time when mental health is of such a concern amongst our young people, our school community saw the phone as a significant and negative contributor to student wellbeing,” he said.
Mobile phones are banned in primary schools in NSW, but high schools have the flexibility to decide if students may use digital devices during school hours.
“Some secondary schools have also chosen to restrict the use of digital devices,” he said.
