France Bans Kids From Using Phones In Classrooms Until They Turn 15

One of the world’s most beautiful nations, one that has often been in the news (especially of late) for evidencing a horrible spate of terror attacks has just made an interesting new move as far as kids studying in schools are concerned.

Where kids in France are concerned, they shall no longer be allowed to use phones until they turn 15 years.

The new rule, about to get in effect from the coming September, French school kids shall no longer be allowed to bring their phones to the school. As it is, according to several varying researches of considerable repute, being hooked onto one’s smartphone is more likely than not responsible for poor focus in classroom activity.

This, as a result, leads to poor grades, which isn’t something that looks bright on a school kid’s report card. But while most American schools in this day and age haven’t yet refrained from introducing stricter rules where usage of phones in classrooms is concerned, France is a tad bit different.

The new rule introduced by the French authorities requires school-going kids from the age of six up to fifteen to abstain from using their phones during school hours and inside the classrooms.

France believes that spending too much time on recreation especially in front of the screens, tiny that they might be isn’t in great interest of small school-going children and that excessive usage of phones acts as a hindrance from pertinent classroom activities that are purely meant for orientation and development of young kids.

The move brings in an interesting change of trends in France and right now, where cellphones or smartphones are concerned, it isn’t quite sure where students would be required to store their phones in the event that a kid brings one to the school. But what is interesting, above all, is how the average kid in France would respond to what might be seen from his eyes, a strict policy, although meant in the best interest of the kids.
