Allow phones in schools

What the petition asks

Allow phones in schools. Students should not have too go to attendance or an office to speak to their parents. Students also want to have fun with their friends and take photos which should be normal and so they have stuff to look back at.
Phone rules are making students recieve sanctions, which many can agree shouldn’t be normal. Nowadays students get in trouble if your phone is seen. It shouldn’t be such a big issue just to have ur phone seen. In most schools, you get your phone confiscated, or even have to get a carer or parent to collect it from the school which is a bit of an exaggeration. Detentions, isolation even suspensions and exclusion take place over something that shouldn’t be such a big deal.
