The school cellphone ban was a campaign promise of President Emmanuel Macron Le Monde reports that in recent years the number of young French people carrying cellphones has increased dramatically More than 8 in 10 adolescents in France were equipped with smartphones in 2015 The newspaper notes that many students begin carrying phones at age 9 "It's about enforcing the rules and the law. The use of telephones is forbidden in class," Blanquer said in September, according to Le Figaro we need to find ways to protect our students from the dispersion of screens and phones we put our cellphones in lockers before we meet It seems to me that this is feasible for any human group Blanquer pointed to existing systems at many schools whereby students put their phones in a box when they enter the classroom "A box on a table at the entrance of my class awaits the phones," one teacher told Le Figaro And it takes two minutes at the beginning of each hour." But other teachers described a losing battle "The students are addicted to their phone, it's a real plague," Xavier Bessière, teacher of maritime law at a vocational school told Le Monde PEEP, a French parents' association, called the ban a "a horrendous logistical problem," according to Le Parisien "Let's imagine an establishment of 500 students: Where will we store the phones and how to ensure that each student will find his smartphone at the end of the course?" Gerard Pommier adding that he feared more classroom tensions under a stricter ban Then-New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg began enforcing a similar ban in that city's schools in 2006. But current Mayor Bill de Blasio rolled it back in 2015. The ban was unpopular with parents who wanted to be able to contact their kids, The New York Times reported and it was unevenly enforced: Schools with metal detectors had the strictest enforcement its schools will likely encounter similar issues and resistance from parents "You have to live with your time," PEEP's former president, Valérie Marty, told L'Express in March because "the adults themselves are not always exemplary with their phones."
