No outright ban — Opponents argue a blanket ban strips away a real safety tool during emergencies like lockdowns, and that schools should be teaching responsible phone use rather than banning a device kids will need to manage as adults anyway.
Depends on the age — A middle-ground position gaining traction: strict phone-free rules for younger, more distractible students, with more autonomy phased in for older teens closer to adulthood.
