A poll by the polling institute YouGov, conducted on behalf of the German Press Agency, shows a whopping 90% of Germans favor some form of restriction on mobile phone usage in schools. And here's the breakdown: 50% want a full ban, while 41% are okay with partial restrictions during specific times. Only 9% believe mobile phones should be free for all in schools.
