A British boarding school will make students use boring old Nokia phones


Eton College is not only banning smartphones. It's only allowing students to use old school Nokia cell phones.

Eton College, the historic and elite British boarding school with famous alumni such as Prince William and Harry, Ian Fleming and Tom Hiddleston, has instituted a new mobile phone policy for its first-year students starting in September. Those students will have to leave their smartphones at home but bring their SIM card to school and put it in an old school, offline Nokia cell phone with a simple number pad that can only make phone calls and send text messages, according to CBS News. Let’s hope nobody tells school officials about Snake or those poor kids may have to actually pay attention and learn something.
