In our case, the phones are allowed to be on their person just not allowed to be brought out of the pocket or whatever except in case of emergency. Even between classes and lunch.

Some classes institute a “phone cabinet” where students are expected to put their phones in the classroom during class.

So the phones are always at hand, but not actively messing with their lives.

It’s the same here as well. I don’t have an issue with it. If stuff starts popping off, I at least want my students to be able to tell their loved ones some last words before being gunned down.

What I don’t want is them being on a screen in my class. They struggle to think without being told something by AI or whatever.

“Mister, can I search up what a dog looks like?” Bro you live in the city, you’ve seen dogs.
