Ban on mobile phones

The Tamil Nadu government’s move banning mobile phones in schools under its purview is welcome. The well-intended ban is thoughtful and is to the advantage of students.

Mobile phones for school students are more of a luxury than any worthwhile need. In fact, their evil effects on students outweigh utility. The school authorities should enforce the rule strictly to the advantage of students as well as parents.
