is There that banning mobile phones in schools and institutes? Castilla-La Mancha and Galicia already prohibit the use of these devices in schools, an initiative that Madrid has just announced that it is going to be added and that a group of teachers promotes in Catalonia in the form of legislative popular initiative. The use of cell phones in the rest of territories is more lax and is normally in the hands of each center or, even, of each teacher. Those who want to take out the mobile of the schools —except in very specific cases, such as when justified by reasons of health— argue that they are an element of distraction, fuelling conflict and bullying, and delves into the social inequality of the pupils. Those who oppose the ban argue that the technology can be used for educational purposes and that the ciberacosos can also be practiced outside of school hours. And do you what you think?
