| Dear Ms. Wagners | |
| I am writing in response to your | |
| question on which school rules the students | |
| think should be changed. | |
| My suggestion is phones in | |
| ischool excursions. When we visit | |
| a museum or go to the citys park, | |
| school doesn't allow students | |
| to take their phones with them. | |
| This is being done because you | |
| students to enjoy the route, | |
| learn and see new things they have never | |
| seen before, visit new places and | |
| even make new friends. But this can't | |
| be done when student lock into a | |
| screen all of the time. But by | |
| banning students to take their | |
| phones with them you're banning | |
| the only way of communication | |
| with their families they've got. | |
| Students need to have contact with | |
| their relatives in case of an emergency | |
| if they get sick and if they get hurt. | |
| I believe what you need to do | |
| is not to ban students from taking | |
| their phones with them on school | |
| trips, but to ban students from using | |
| them during the trip. They can switch their | |
| mobile devices on only when they need to. | |
| I hope my suggestion proves to | |
| be useful and is taken into | |
| consideration. | |
| Yours faithfully, | |
