Half-day sanction for mobile phone use in state school

[Redapple1]

Got half-day sanction due to using a mobile phone at Hockerill school, BS. Kid can't join the lesson. Wastes time! The school should do it after school1.

too harsh!

Or, and hear me out on this, the kid could not use their mobile phone?

What are you doing to help school enforce the mobile phone ban OP?

All schools have sanctions of some sort now that mobile phone bans are basically mandatory in state schools

I'm pretty sure the school would have written to you to explain the new policy so I don't see what you are complaining about tbh

Are you the kid or the parent? I honestly can’t tell.

Afters school detentions are a pain to staff

Tell your kid to follow the rules.

And if they had been given an after school detention you would be complaining that they had missed the bus home/been late for something/ shouldn’t be kept after school had finished! They broke the rules and were given the consequences, tell them not to do it again!

FAFO

FGS how difficult can it be! Just don't bloody use the phone during school time and you as a parent should support this. And you wonder where the snowflake generation come from, soon we will be hearing the drip sob feed why this child just had to make a phone call or text

Take their phone away and ground them. It must be so annoying having such a badly behaved child. It certainly will be for the staff. Hopefully with the school’s help, you can redirect them to better behaviour.

lol. Love this.
