Hi Estéema,
Are you referring to your boy’s Secondary school which is a boy’s school? I didn’t give much thought about the porn matter until I saw your post. How did the school finds out and how did you get involved in counselling the students ? It’s good to get to know more about this as we are thinking to DSA to your boy’s school. -

The thing started when a parent shared recent news clip on HCI restricting students fr use of hp 7am to 2pm. Then some parents shared issues going on at RI & before we knew it someone alerted me abt a boy who started his habit of viewing porn in P6 & was counseled but apparently he's sharing ard.
Sporadically, u'll hear this as in P4, I heard a child ask parents if can drop bus ride home coz the older kids were always sharing & giggling back of sch bus. As parents, we just work together not to shame our kids but to find ways to educate use & safety (think these topics taught in Pri schools but still u'll get one or two such cases.)
We hv a very involved doc dad in our PSG. We're coordinating for this for our kids. Thankful we cld owise, s'times teachers can't monitor effectively (not bcoz of competency issues) but kids these days are very creative avoid detection - silent mode, hide under desks & books, eyes on teacher looking fully attentive. S'times kids even read WhatsApp on desktop, pretending doing hmwk! -
Reading the HCI mobile phone makes me glad that I did not give in to ah boy’s request for a data plan phone subscription.
When I take the morning bus to go to n return from the market, I see many Bt Timah schools students playing games on the mobile phone. -

HCI is bold to implement such. I wonder why pri sch kids need a smartphone.Reading the HCI mobile phone makes me glad that I did not give in to ah boy's request for a data plan phone subscription.

It's more that kids do need a phone for contacting parents (school timings and CCAs etc can be quite erratic, for safety as they move around etc, and public phones are hard to find), and nowadays, they are all smartphones. But like Jennifer, I didn't get a data plan for my kids.

Most pr schools don't allow the phones to be used during the schoolday, I think. It's harder to implement that for sec school as it is useful for kids to be able to go online to check things sometimes. Parents can refuse to let kids have data plans, and inculcate habits at home such as not always using the phone every spare moment.
