Consider the caveats
• “It’s not stranger-danger anymore we need to warn them about; they might bully each other”
• They probably have already made a Facebook page for their form
• “If you act responsibly, you can use your mobiles”
“We lifted the ban on mobile phones last term because we realised that the students (some 1600) of them had all got powerful computers in their pockets and we just wouldn't be able to afford to provide all of them with that level of technology.”
