When the excuse “but what if my mom needs to call me” started working.
Mom can call the school. It worked for 70 years.

Why does the school have to be the middle-man? Just ban phones during actual classes and let them use it during free periods.

In practice that doesn’t work, for the same reasons education hasn’t been either. Too few teachers to students, plus the things (phones) are greasily addictive. And we’re talking about the youths, lol dumb-kid brain, most exemplified by teenagers of course. The phase of life that specifically combines “rules are actually just stupid, did you ever notice that?” with “so anyway (I forgot about what we were talking about or any other thing)”.

but all smartphones have parental controls which is never talked about, but we keep blaming violent media and addictive technology while offering terrible solutions like ID verification and yondr pouches. www.overyondr.com/phone-free-schools This whole thing is a scam on our society with a private company getting taxpayer’s money while not actually solving the problem.
these solutions do not teach self-regulation, does not fix algorithmic feeds, does not address home use, does not solve violent or addictive content exposure

I distinctly remember my elementary school not being able to call my parents because their area code wasn’t the local area code but okay.
Phones should be allowed in schools, just take them before class starts and hand them back after.
