France bans smartphones and tablets from schools

New York Post: France bans smartphones and tablets from schools.

"Kids in France are now banned from using their smartphones in school in a bid to stop them being distracted or messing around in class."

"Education expert Tom Bennett, the UK’s former behavior czar, says British pupils could benefit from a similar hard-line approach."

"“As adults, we need to be providing a learning experience of maximum potential and that means focusing on the work as much as possible.”

"A Sun study earlier this year found a third of parents had no idea what their kids were looking at on their phones."
