Welcome to the UK… country that once had aspirations to be a center of digital tech… now just wants a Victorian factory education for its kids. Soon pen and paper will be too radical and chalkboard slates will be reintroduced. You can hear the “teach from the front”-types salivating already. “The Empire was built on rote and chalk, Mr Gradgrind!”

Apply the rules to staff too. Let them lead by example.
If doing so is problematicfor the adults why not the children.
Phones don’t need to be banned we just need to teach everyone when their use is or isn’t appropriate.

Yeah this did wonders (here in Sweden) for my two neurodivergent kids who no longer had the safety of being able to reach us parents when the school did not do as promised during the days.
