The use of mobile phones and devices is a blessing to us. Most especially in this part of the world.
But am still shocked why some institutions of learning has placed bans on them esp (mobile phones), i seem nt to understand the motive behind it? They give excusses that it will distract the attention of the student. HOW!!! If i may ask? If am a student i stay in an hostel and am nt allowed to use my phone how do i get to contact my parents when i need something urgently.
Pls i need responses!!!

Op, in my school, use of fone in some places is a capital offence and the punishment could be rustication of one session or expulsion...if u are seen with ur fone in the examination hall , wheather 'on' or 'off' u are leaving that school....no two ways about it, but that ban does not extend to our hostels or other public places. I think, those private versities are the ones that completely ban the use of fone in their campuses.

Restriction in exam hall is allowed. But complete ban is rediculous.
