Really shouldn't be a ban. Just have teachers do what they always do take away the distraction and return it at end of class.

The second a fucking cell phone ban in schools hit at a legal level. Its just going to fucking evolve into regulations and bans around cell phone use for us plebians at work. Which will then be used to punish and attack people.

Bans for kids rarely stay that way.

Alot of company's have cell phone rules btw, my mom works in a factory, they can't use their devices other than during breaks. They can write you up and fire you as long as there's written rules and shit.
