Debate- phones for kids?

26th May 2026

Today we started a series on debating in the P6/7 room. 

For our first topic, we debated whether children under 15 should be able to own a phone.

While half the class argued in favour, the other half debated against. 


We listened, we reasoned, we formed opinion and finished off with a well-being talk on safe use of social media. 

All in all a very worthwhile lesson. 📱
