Fairer Electronics Rules in Bishop's Wordsworth's School


Fairer Electronics Rules in Bishop's Wordsworth's School
The Issue
Recently the BWS staff team have decided that mobile phones should be banned from school.
This is justifiable to an extent - videos humiliating boys from the school have been circulating chats and even sometimes be posted to social media sites such as YouTube and Instagram. Even teachers have been victim to this bullying. Of course this is totally unacceptable and must be stopped... ...though the way it was dealt with wasn't fair to 95% of the school.
They decided to ban electronics completely.
What I propose is a new agreement - either we abolish the rule completely and trust the children (and reintroduce it if this happens again) or we tweak it: i.e. only putting this rule on devices that have cameras and/or microphones.
Please sign this petition if you believe we should either give the children a second chance or tweak it. Be sure to tell which one of these options you want to take place and why because if this gets to the goal there is a big chance the head will see this and may well read the comments. If you can't be bothered at least put "1" or "2" - 1 for a second chance and 2 for tweaking it.
Thank you.
