Susan | A 14-year-old girl, from Hangzhou, supports the policy. Her school has never allowed them to bring their mobile phones. She thinks it's a distraction (干扰) from their work. She said, "Even adults can't control themselves, let alone kids like us. " |
Darren | A boy from Tianjin feels differently. The 14-year-old boy believes that a mobilephone ban is too simplistic (简单化) for a generation that has grown up with mobilephones. He said, "Students should be taught self﹣management skills, as well as learnhow to use their phones to help with their studies. This might be the best way to dowith technology in modern times. " |
Judy | Judy thinks the problem with banning phones has more to do with life outside of school. She uses a bike﹣sharing app every day to travel between her home and school. She said, "Today, phones are used everywhere, from taking a bus to buying food. If I can't take my phone with me, I'll have to buy my own bicycle. " |
