Scotland’s first phone-free school, Portobello High School in Edinburgh, has introduced a bold new policy where pupils are required to place their mobile phones into lockable magnetic pouches upon arrival.
These pouches stay locked throughout the school day and can only be opened at special stations when school ends. The aim is to reduce distractions, improve focus, and promote healthier social interactions among students.
This initiative has received strong backing from parents, with around 86% supporting the move. It reflects a growing trend in schools prioritizing mental well-being and classroom engagement over screen time.

Ghostlighting mixes together ghosting (which is where a potential love interest disappears without an explanation) with the more sinister gaslighting (which is an emotional abuse or manipulation tool where a person purposefully tries to twist information to make their partner feel as though they are in the wrong).
In ghostlighting, the aim is for the person to first cut off communication (ghost you) without warning, before coming back into your life by calling, texting, or chatting on dating apps. Then, if you try and confront them about ghosting you, they'll use gaslighting to deny it ever happened - leaving you feeling confused and doubting yourself.
A good sign that it’s high time to move on!
