Many parents agree with this regulation of Truong Chinh High School because the school gives quite convincing reasons.
According to school leaders, students are not prohibited from bringing cell phones to school, but they are not allowed to use them on school grounds, including during recess.
It is natural to ban students from using phones during class, except for subjects where teachers allow the use of phones for research, but banning them during recess is even more "tough". Teachers believe that during recess, students need to exercise, chat, interact, and have fun with friends to develop skills, create relationships...
It is very convincing because most students are glued to their phones, surfing Facebook, Tiktok and other platforms, while their friends next to them do not talk to each other. They rarely play in the schoolyard but "play" on social networks.
Not only Truong Chinh High School, but also some other schools have banned students from using cell phones in school. Talking to Lao Dong reporter, Mr. Luong Van Dinh - Principal of Thanh Loc High School said that this regulation was issued by the school after receiving the consent of the school's parents.
Mr. Luong Van Dinh commented: "Social networks, technology,... are now very developed, greatly affecting students. In the past, during recess, I saw that students rarely played together but only focused on their phones. In particular, there was a situation where students went on social networks to text each other and badmouth each other, leading to many consequences. For example, last school year, the school dealt with several fights that originated from conflicts on social networks."
Not only Thanh Loc High School, there have been many cases of students fighting due to arguments on social networks.
Social networks have their good points, but also many bad points, not to mention that it is an environment with many unhealthy things. Therefore, schools spend all of students' time at school on education, all activities in the school space are for educational purposes. Parents who agree with the school to ban the use of phones understand that good purpose.
Stay away from your phone with information on social networks to exercise during recess, share feelings with friends, live with the most beautiful and innocent things of school age - that is a reasonable choice, because you will be far away from the "white school uniform" time, at that time, you will have memories to remember.
Entering the school gate means focusing on studying. If you want to have the highest concentration, you must eliminate distractions. Therefore, banning the use of phones in school is reasonable.
