Australia have banned(禁止) students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.

  Mobile phone used among children has become a problem for middle schools this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts, and more students will want them.

Mary Bluett, an official, said mobile phone use is a distraction(分心的事) to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to cheat during exams.

Many people said that they understood why parents would want their children to have mobile phones, but they thought schools should let the students know when they could use their mobile phones.
