And whilst there are examples of this type of thinking within Australia, to suggest it is the 'norm' would be a stretch.
For example, mobile phones are rarely banned in Finnish Schools, instead students quietly answer the call, leave the classroom to have their conversation and then return quickly and with care for other students and their teacher.
