And how are you going to do that if you collect their phones at the beginning of every day and only allow them to use it when you don't have any influence of their usage?
This seems like such a agist article, it would be immediately shot down if they wanted to collect university students' phones at the beginning of every day.
It's time to start giving children autonomy, respect, and not treating them like something to overprotect or be scared of.
I say collect everyone's phones at the beginning of class. Students are here to study, teachers are here to teach.
Put that crap away and pull out a pencil, damn it.
Teaching a kid there is a time and place to use their devices is educational. Confiscating personal property to limit access is just creating problems.
Also, who is paying for the $2000 smart phone that got cracked/lost/stolen while confiscated?
As I said in a comment above, good luck not getting sued by the parents during a school shooting / emergency and their kid cannot contact them.
