Students feel unsafe wondering where they go after school. By giving us access (in a certain area) to our phones at break and lunch. We can contact our guardian to arrange a lift, if there is a change of plan or if their working late. We need proper security measures in school, including modern day technology. You should make sure we have access to our phones at break and lunch. Not to forget, you depend on technology, so why are you not letting the future PM have any access to it in school!
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about when mobile phones can be used in school are a matter for individual schools, not the Government or House of Commons.
