Are plans to confiscate pupils' mobiles fair?

Some pupils find it hard enough to concentrate in the classroom, without having the temptation of a mobile phone in their pocket.

New proposals to allow teachers to confiscate phones from pupils and delete content, have met with criticism by the NASUWT and human rights organisation Liberty for being over-intrusive.

The government insists the measures help assert the authority of teachers and will allow them to deal with problems in schools more effectively.

John Fairhurst, President of the Association of School College Leaders, and Isabella Sankey from Liberty, discussed the proposals with BBC Breakfast.
