If there are no mobile phones allowed in the classroom, then the calculator will definitely have a future far into the 21st century!

The same applies also to tablets and they are being banned not just in the classroom but even during breaks. There is basically no point in taking one to school.

I wish the same thing would be introduced here in the UK to get kids interacting with each other in the real world instead of staring blankly at a small screen all the time.
