Question

The French government will ban (禁止) students from using mobile phones. Students in the country’s primary schools and middle schools will be allowed to bring their phones to school, but not allowed to get them out at any time until they leave school.

Jean-Michel Blanquer, The French Education Minister, said the ban would come into effect (生效) in October 2018.

“Some education organizations have already stopped pupils from using their mobiles,” Blanquer told RLT Radio, “Sometimes you need mobiles for teaching reasons or special situations, but their use has to be controlled in some way.”

However, there are some different voices about the ban, someone wasn’t sure if it could be followed. “This new ban makes us puzzled because we can’t find anything helpful about this ban.”

Some students from a middle school seemed not to be serious about this ban. “I don’t understand how it will work. Where will we put our phones? And how will we get them back?” said a boy. At another school, Mathilde, 12, said, “It’s unbelievable. At my school, we don’t use them in class, so what’s the problem? If anyone is caught using one in the toilet or at lunchtime, the phone will be confiscated (沒(méi)收).”

Some of the parents are not sure, either. “It’s probably a good idea when the kids are in school,” said Sabine. “But my daughter goes to school and comes home alone. He needs a phone to keep in touch with me. That I won’t worry about her.”

Anyway, the government is now studying how the mobile ban can be put into effect (執(zhí)行).
