Ya know, I think we just take parents out of the loop completely with their kids, once they hit secondary school, make it the schools job to do everything.
You know, teach them values, discipline them, set curfews for them, monitor their calorie intake and eating habits...
I'll stop being facetious.
Instead of giving the schools stick, why not actually get the parents to DISPLAY SOME gnikcuf PARENTING SKILLS and take the phones off the kids if they bother them so much rather than looking for someone else to take the hit?
Why is something that is completely outside the school's sphere of influence suddenly their problem?

My little Johnny is getting bad grades, beats up his sister, bullies his classmates, is totally hyperactive and cries hysterically everytime Uncle Mervin comes around - it must be the school's fault!

It's only the school's fault when the kid gets a tennis ball stuck in his mouth.

Are kids allowed to use phones during school time?
There's no universal policy set out by the ministry, and to be honest, an accross-the-board policy would be a nightmare to police.
At our one the kids aren't allowed them in-class. Unlike a lot of teachers I let them use them in media studies for things like taking subject-realted pxts and recording sound bites for radio shows.
My 'teaching the kiddies to use them properly' approach is at odds with the 'ban 'em completely' brigade.

How did you know that Uncle Mervin plays tennis?
Personally I'd hate to be in government at the moment - the current cry-baby blame culture sucks esra. On one side apparently we're hideously over-taxed (compared to Mexicon) and the government meddles in our personal affairs - on the other side the government is held accountable for everything from kids bullying other kids to the volume of boy racers stereos.

I'm starting to get sick of stupid f**king kids screwing everything up for the rest of us. Just proves that some todays kids aren't ballsy enough to start a sparc and tell someone what they think of them man to man.

So how exactly are cellphones connected to the death of this kid? The kid off themself cos of txt-bullying or something?
That's the implication. Stupidly suicide is hardly ever talked about openly in the media. Because if it was we might realize just how many Kiwis are killing themselves and perhaps even look at ways of pro-actively dealing with it.
I think I'm correct in believing that our annual suicides are higher than our road toll.
