Make the UK secondary schools allow the phones at break and lunch time

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Someone called Matt Hancock decided in the UK to ban phones from all schools in break and lunch time.
At the jobs in the UK, you are allowed phones at break and lunchtime, but, the secondary schools, everybody is not allowed from the school to use them.
It is fair that the teenagers and children in the UK gets to have their phone out in break and lunch time, not in lesson, but in break and lunch time. There is also a game called Kahoot, which is for classrooms and this game also involves phones.
Most people in their lives have a phone, it is supposedly that the people can't live without phones. We need to unban phones so the concerning onto parents will be stopped.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is a decision for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could raise this issue with your school's senior managers or governing body.
