The correct and reasonable use of mobile phones is the basic quality that people must possess in the information age. However, the management of students' mobile phone use varies from person to person, time to time, and local conditions. Schools should clearly inform each teacher and each student of the requirements for mobile phone use management, and then supervise by teachers and students to each other to help students develop good habits.

Among the five campus laws of the High School Affiliated to East China University of Political Science and Law, the “Regulations on the Use of Mobile Phones by Students in Schools” is the regulation on mobile phones. The principal Fu Song said that although smart watches are not under management, in recent years, the school has made it clear that after students enter the school, they will put them in the mobile phone cages in each class and take them away before leaving school. If a student wants to use a mobile phone to contact at school, they usually use the mobile phone of the head teacher, or use the office phone or the guard room phone. All senior high schools operate in this way. The methods of each grade of junior high school are slightly different. Because junior high school students are younger and their parents have different requirements, each class has a self-regulatory committee. According to the opinions of parents and students, the management rules formulated by each class of junior high school are implemented. "However, the system can only be turned on when entering school and leaving school. This is unified. ”

[To prevent cell phone dependence, parents should also take the lead] 

It is also the common consensus and practice of basic education in various countries to prohibit electronic devices such as mobile phones from being brought into campus. In July 2018, the French National Assembly passed a ban that prohibits kindergarten, elementary and junior high school students from using mobile phones and other electronic devices while they are in school. Countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany have also imposed rigid school regulations to restrict students' use of mobile phones on campus. Strengthening the management of mobile phones of primary and middle school students is not only to protect students’ eyesight and allow students to concentrate on studying at school, but also to prevent indulging in the Internet and games, and to promote physical and mental health. Wu Rongjin, principal of Luwan No. 1 Central Primary School in Huangpu District, said, “We found that most students need to use mobile phones in school to contact their parents, such as: forgetting to bring things, pick up and drop off, etc., if the school can provide some convenient services for students You can get in touch with parents, and at the same time, develop the good habit of students not to lose everything. First, analyze the reasons why children bring mobile phones or smart watches. It is completely possible to enter campus without mobile phones or smart watches in the future. ”

During the winter and summer vacations, many parents use mobile phones as free "nanny", allowing their children to use mobile phones uncontrollably, once the bad habit of relying on mobile phones is formed , It takes a lot of effort to correct. Some parents are also embarrassed: "Although they teach their children how to use mobile phones, they can't help but play with mobile phones for a long time. ” Parents must first do what their children are required to do. All family members must abide by the regulations governing the use of mobile phones and ensure that everyone is equal before the rules. Parents take the lead in complying with the regulations, actively use positive energy activities such as reading and sports to enrich their personal lives, and distract attention with outdoor sports, housework, social activities, etc. Not only does it make children convinced by the mobile phone management regulations, but it also guides children to develop the good habit of using mobile phones for a limited time and not watching them if necessary, so as to prevent mobile phone dependence.
