Different people have different opinions about whether or not middle school students should have mobile phones.
“The great thing about my kids having mobile phones is that I can keep in touch with them,” said William, a parent of two teenagers.
“A teenager feels lost without a phone. If my daughters behave badly, I will confiscate(没收）their phones and their behaviour quickly improves,” said Kiera, a mother of 15-year-old twins.
“My mum is afraid that I'm going to lose my phone or that someone is going to steal it. She won't buy me the really cool phone that I want. I've got this one that doesn't do much,” said Sam, a 14-year-old boy.
Mobile phones are allowed at school in the UK but pupils are not allowed to use them in class and they must be silent during lessons. Teachers can take away phones if these rules are broken. Students can use their phones at break time, at lunchtime and after school. Some teachers in British schools complain that pupils don't always follow the rules and that lessons are disrupted by students using mobile phones in class.
