Curbs call on pupils' phone usage

Teaching union representatives have called for schools to be made "mobile phone free zones" 1the filming of an alleged attack on a head teacher in Scotland. The BBC reports.

"Concerns have been raised after a "happy slapping" incident last week in which a 15-year-old boy allegedly assaulted a Borders school rector. The pupil had been excluded from school in the morning and had returned at lunchtime, when the alleged attack took place. This appears to be the first real incident involving a teacher."
