Phones are already banned by majority of schools. Looking for publicity is all this cabbage is doing.

Blowing hot air, she says she’ll “ask” schools to do so, what use is that? She is just appealing to the older demographics who just want to impose rules and regulations upon young people in a “that’ll show em’ ” attitude

The Minister has almost no power over things like this in schools. She hasn’t even enforced the circular ‘requesting’ that schools have generic uniforms without crests, or that schools stop asking for ‘voluntary’ donations dressed up as admin/school/junior or leaving cert ‘contributions’.

Why? Wouldn’t it be better to simply teach students how to use phones appropriately and take more targeted actions towards those who don’t? Why is the stance of Ireland on almost everything prohibition when its well known to not be an effective way of doing things?

Can’t believe I’m saying this but Norma Foley is dead right here
Who cares if people think this is for “publicity”?
If it’s the right thing to do, it’s the right thing to do

If this government is good at one thing, its offering solutions to problems that do not exist. No phones during school hours is probably one of the most commonly enforced rules in school, it certainly was when I was in school nearly 2 decades ago.
