What the petition asks
Change the school rules
Tell the schools to let students use phones at break and lunch because they will listen to the government.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about school behaviour policies, including when students are allowed to use their phone, are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you are unhappy with your school's policy you should raise this directly with the school, or your parents.
