The UN agency said that even being close to a smartphone has been linked with students being distracted in the classroom, which in turn causes poorer student performances.
And that’s the real answer for how to handle phones in schools. Someone else said leave it home but I’m a single parent of a special needs child, he’s taking his phone to school and the school can eat my ass if they don’t like it. Never had a problem.
Parents tend to care significantly less about a $20 toy than a $700+ smartphone.
Meh leave it home then. That worked fine when I was in school until phones became widespread
