Yes, banning phones reduces distractions, curbs cyberbullying, and forces face-to-face socialization

This response aligns perfectly with the justifications provided by Labor Education Ministers regarding student focus, social interaction, and the reduction of cyberbullying.

Agree

Yes, but only during class time, because students need them for safety while commuting

While Labor supports the core concept of a ban, their specific policy implementation is 'off and away all day', including during lunch and recess, rather than just during class time.

Strongly disagree

No, parents have a fundamental right to directly contact their children during a school emergency

Labor policy maintains that while phones can be carried for the commute, they must be stored away during school hours, with emergency contact handled through official school channels.

Strongly disagree

No, schools should teach digital self-regulation instead of enforcing an easily bypassed blanket ban

Labor has moved away from the digital self-regulation model in favor of mandated bans, arguing that clear rules are necessary to support teachers and protect students.

Very strongly disagree

No

The Labor Party has been a primary driver of school phone bans, making a 'No' stance fundamentally opposed to their current policy platform.
