Don't ban mobile phones in schools

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Banning mobile phones in schools could lead to a whole host of problems and unsafe situations resulting from a ban.
Many school children walk to and from school and a mobile is the only form of communication a child has that could save their lives
In the day and age we live in I believe taking this technology from a child is a bad 8dea and we as adults and parents often track our children by their location on their mobile phones. Without this vital piece of equipment anything could happen a child leading to dangerous and possible life threating situations.
