But one school leaders union... called the change a "non-policy for a non-problem".
They're right. Phones aren't allowed and have to be stored in lockers... What? Kids are breaking rules?! God can come down to earth tomorrow and tell kids not to use phones in class, the effect would've been about the same.
Chicken wire wall paper?
No? Then it's not a solution
Not hard to keep to the same policy we had in the 00's. Off or silent, and it doesn't come out in lessons. If it does, it goes in the teacher's desk, and they get it back half an hour after school ends. Job done.
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
