You are absolutely right, no real harm can come from limiting use of devices in schools, and most likely, a big improvement. Anyone who says otherwise likely was born later than 2000 and has an addiction they're not willing to admit. Hell I was born 70s and despite not growing up with a cell (most people survived, btw..), even I'm now addicted. Step one is admission.
It seems like neither of you read my comment. Like, at all.
I literally agreed with limiting cell phone use, but said why it's not going to be implemented in a meaningful way. And I also walked to school alone and stayed there all day without a phone and survived just fine.
But all it takes is one parent to say they don't like it, which will happen with certainty. And at that point it just becomes up to the individual parents, which of course it always has been anyway since parents can just take a kids phone literally whenever they want (such as while at school)...it's the parents property after all.
I can't think of one parent that I know that would not be totally happy for somebody to get their kid off of her phone for a little while, while not having to play the bad guy themselves. lol.
And there it is so now you can think of at least one!
