Why not banning them in schools, are they needed for studying?

In the US you sometimes hear that phones in class are necessary to see if your kids are OK in a school shooting scenario.
I think this isn’t a good argument, since school shootings are rare, and it’s unclear if each student having a phone would do more harm than good in that kind of situation.

Also, dumb phones are fine. SMS and phone calls aren’t a problem, it’s smart phones that are addiction machines.
