I think they can make rules like that. Where else would a child learn that they have to adhere to authority? Do I want my kid losing his phone because some other kid has a problem understanding that it's not theirs? No I don't. I hear what you are saying but I do agree with the rules.

Sounds reasonable. You'd have to weigh the pros of having a phone at school (not many) against the cons (many)

But at some age it's good to learn that authority isn't absolute
