#52 We need our phones

2014-02-25 17:04

For goodness sake!
This is ridiculous, I can see what they are trying to do. They are trying to stop people from using phones in lessons (which still happens even WITH this rule in place -_-') but, very few of us do that. Most of us only check them either in between lessons or in break/lunch. I don't see how checking your phone during those periods affects your learning when you're NOT EVEN IN LESSONS!! Why should all of us have to suffer?
Also, for those saying "Wel, u cn jst use student services fone!!!1!11!"...some can't. It costs money (which some people don't have a lot of) to use their phone and there'll be a long queue of people waiting to use it. I don't want to wait 10/15/20 minutes to phone my parents with money I don't have. I'd rather use my phone to call them at break/lunch which takes seconds and (if you're on contract) doesn't cost you money on the spot.
Lolz, my rant is now over XD Hopefully this silly rule is removed ~

Guys we need to spread the word! This isn't getting anywhere if we don't have more people! The more people on this then the better our chances of this working!

I agree, the phone ban is bad. If I actually abided by the rules today then I wouldn't have received the text from my mum to say that I was getting a lift from her because I have to go to the doctors. I would have walked straight out of school and got it down the road. By then I would have probably been late for the doctors and have to go through the muddle of my mum having to find me somewhere so she could pick me up.

I have to go to the doctors and hospital quite often, and after school Times (especially when I have after school lessons and clubs) are too late to book these appointments, so I usually phone at break an lunch. What am I meant to do now? The reasons I go to the doctors is confidential, I don't want to be saying it in front of Wendy Bray, or anyone in student services for that matter. When I'm on the phone at school I go off into a corner on my own and get left alone.

But this petition isn't going to do anything

I think the author should stop censoring people and deleting comments too, however invalid/irrelevant they are I think we should still see them

Your mum could have called Student Services and asked for a message to be passed to you.  It does work!!

Selfish? How am I being selfish? By not spending 20p I don't have (seeing as I have packed lunch)to use "valuable" student services time on their phone while they are listening into my conversation? I'm pretty sure no one else is obeying this rule, how is it selfish me using my own phone which I pay for on contract. I'm not saying me missing a lift is a big deal but how I meant to sort my drs appointments

Can we all stop arguing? We have to get a grip of ourselves and look at the big picture! We have to spread the word for this petition otherwise it isn't going to do anything. The less we fight each other and the more we work together the more likely it his will work.

Why do children feel their rights should trump the rules of those in authority. Teachers and schools are legally responsible for children when at school and are charged with making what they feel are appropriate decisions for their care. There is no reason (except in rare and extreme circumstances) why children need to use their phones during the school day (NB. 'need' and 'want' are completely different) When you are an adult you can do whatever you like whenever you like and accept the consequences, until then I'm afraid you will have to do what you are told. Alternatively you could move to China and have the freedoms their children enjoy. Stop bloody moaning about freedom and rights and realise how lucky you are in this country.You are not entitled to things just because you want those things!

Children should have freedom to do what they wish in there own break time with mobile phones.
Many parents (as I do) like to speak to or text their children in the break times.

I require access to my phone during break and lunch in order to contact my mum because I have severe anxiety and just having a small text conversation with her makes me feel more calm! If SSO want me to go call my mum for a casual 'chat' then sure.. I'll do that.

I spend a lot of time in SSO and, geez, they get a hell of a lot of phone calls as it is without more from the parents and students. I mean, realistically, they're just making it harder for themselves!!

I think that the idea of kids not being allowed to use their mobile phones in school is stupidity.
