Spain is cracking down on mobile phone use in schools, introducing total bans or highly regulating the devices that many teachers and parents say are not neeed.
All over Spain, WhatsApp groups have been buzzing with parents debating one of the most divisive topics in the country: no, not controversial Spanish national politics, but whether schools should ban mobile phones.
One of the biggest group chats started in Barcelona, and quickly gained more than a thousand members, and posed the question of whether or not mobile phones should be allowed at educational facilities.
The group’s founding member, and mother of three school-age children Elisabet Garcia Permanyer, told local media that she didn’t want to give in to the social pressure norm that once a pupil enters secondary school, they should be allowed their own mobile phone.
