Tbh I've never understood why a strict non-negotiable ban on phones in schools hasn't been in place. This is an easy win with no negative consequences for adults.
I too don't like all this "age-verification" approach, but how does banning phones in school prevent kids / teens from using social media?
it was the case when i was younger and phones were still dumb. We've gone backwards
It already exists in the schools near where I live in the UK, but only came into place in some of them in the last year. I was surprised that they had been so slow about it.
