The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has changed its policy to accept "the possession of a smartphone more than elementary school students".
When my daughter's school permitted it, I was forced to give them, despite "they do not want my daughter".
It was "for me" instead of "for children".
"I" was absolutely necessary as a means of disaster, kidnapping, or emergency contact.
-----
I said to my daughters "Do not use in school," and when I got complaints from school I had the confidence to 100% refuse and there was also a will to fight in trial when it came.
It is easy to imagine that ministries and schools think that "if they use public phone or smartphone publicly, it is troublesome"
I think that real intention was "I want you to make it invisible". That is normal in our adult world.
-----
One of the reasons for approving mobile phone and smartphone this time is that, the point of view of "the infrastructure at the time of emergency" is almost all.
"Working way reform" does not progress in all directions, for a large number of adults who can not reserve a ticket with a computer, can not shop, can not even e-mail.
In other words, I guess that the administration was surprised again.
