Hot take but phone ban is schools is bad. We ought to teach kids how to use the phones properly as clearly personal computers are never going away and are fundamental part of our existence.

I know it’s hard, I know that teachers will struggle but it’s clearly an important investment as we’re never going back to a pre personal computer world. It might change shape from a phone to a watch or something but it’s never going away.

Really a non sequitur. you could have one course “healthy use of new technology” and ban it for the rest of the school day for distraction-free learning.
