Yes, although the phone is necessary for Secondary school Whatsapp and emails, many students spend time watching videos as well. When my child was in P6, her classmates shared with her that they spend many hours watching YouTube videos.


Thanks ‘Tookies’, I have installed parental control app Qustodio. It is quite user friendly.

Thank you ‘Ski’ and ‘Gancheongdaddy’. Thanks for your wonderful insights.

My daughter is in 1H too.

Thanks ‘ksks’ for your thoughtful reply. I still feel that the teachers should not let the students use the handphone inside the classroom. That is my regret for not checking up DHS school policy on mobile usage before admitting my daughter there.

I prepared a phone for my child to check at home in case there is school WhatsApp. But I don’t see why the teachers and students keep WhatsApping in school. They should not allow the students to use the phone while in school.

My daughter does not carry a handphone but when she went to DHS the 1st two days, she was overwhelmed by all the students who were using their mobiles in class. The class teacher told them that they could use the phone calculator for their maths and my daughter felt like a weirdo, using the sharp calculator. The teacher also asked them to use the phone camera to take pics of the timetable. The students use the handphones in class as well as in the canteen. During recess, everyone in the queue were looking at their phones while my daughter was the only one holding a book. She feels like the odd one out and demoralised.


I hope that the school management can stop the phone usage in school as it poses too much distraction for the students.
