Teachers should be included in the prohibition of cell phone usage in educational institutions, according to student opinions.
In the ongoing debate about mobile phone usage in schools, the students have put forth their views and suggestions. They argue that a discussion involving all parties, including teachers, should take place on equal terms.
The students propose that usage rules regarding mobile phones should apply equally to everyone, including teachers. They believe this would foster a more consistent and fair environment in the classroom.
One of the students' suggestions is the implementation of a school-wide Wi-Fi network. This, they argue, would simplify access to learning materials and reduce the use of mobile data for non-academic purposes, such as games.
However, the students also argue that the debate focuses on taking something away rather than providing alternatives to ease school life. In an attempt to address this, they suggest that the school should provide more appealing facilities, such as soccer goals or ping-pong tables, to discourage phone use.
The council, on the other hand, has argued that negative effects of mobile phone usage can be seen in adults, not just students. They have not provided any specific reasons why teachers should be allowed to use their phones privately at school.
The council also suggests that poor teaching, such as long monologues, may be the root cause of problems in the classroom, rather than mobile phone usage. They argue that teachers should focus on engaging teaching methods to keep students' attention.
The debate has attracted the attention of state education ministries, school administrations, various political figures, and educational experts. For example, in states like Hesse and Bremen, education ministers support bans citing concerns about students' health, concentration, and wellbeing. In contrast, states like Berlin emphasize self-responsibility and allow schools to set their own rules regarding phone use.
Some education and youth associations criticize strict bans for being too rigid, advocating for more balanced approaches that consider digital literacy and responsible use.
The State Student Council from Stuttgart has taken a stance against a potential ban on mobile phones in schools, arguing that the ban should also apply to teachers when it comes to personal use.
At this juncture, it's clear that the debate is far from over. The issue of mobile phone usage in schools remains a contentious one, with both students and the council presenting valid points. The hope is that a solution will be found that benefits everyone involved, fostering a productive and engaging learning environment for students.
