Or do you think your son or daughter is mature enough to handle the responsibility of a phone?
He has now been requested to review the greater challenges of handling modern classrooms.
However, the using of smartphones is not uniform, as it ranges from zero-tolerance to partial bans.
My personal recommendation is that schools think very cautiously and carefully before allowing them.
I think the default should be that they are not allowed unless teachers invite them for some specific reason.
He said that children are getting exposed and have access to technology at a very young age.
People ask me, When should I give my child a smartphone?
and I say, Whenever youre comfortable with them viewing pornography, because their curiosity will take them there.
Phone use was a child protection issue, he said.
I dont want children in playgrounds swapping pornographic pictures or pictures of horrific scenes or racist websites or whatever.
I want to know roughly what they are looking at, and that includes in school.
How they do that is a professional judgement.
In schools, basically behavior standards were patchy said Mr Bennett.
