A student puts her mobile phone in her locker after switching it off, as it is a mandatory in the Auguste Brizeux highschool in Lorient, western France, on September 5, 2024.

Headmaster Gregory Charbonnier wanted to implement this ban for two reasons: the well-being and health of the child, and the fight against the harassment that is all too often amplified by telephone via social networks, in Lorient, western France, on September 6, 2024.
