Should children be banned from using mobile phones in the classroom?

No. Classrooms should be banned from interrupting children's key phases of social development. Either do something useful for other people or learn for your own selfish benefit, classroom learning doesn't accomplish either of those things until you get to University and by that point people should be more than ready to contribute useful things at least some of the time. Still can't understand why University isn't part-time while people work as the default.

Hell no.<p>Nope.<p>Absolutely not.<p>Terrible idea.<p>Why, in this modern age when everything is computerized, and even the article in question was written on, published on, and read on, computers, do we insist on trying to ban them in places where they can (and should) be used to improve the experience?<p>With all the education-targeted technology we have, I think it’s idiotic to forcibly prevent ourselves from achieving a better learning experience.

Yes. Children use their phones for cheating in quizzes and exams. Plus it distracts them from their lectures.
