Should schools ban smartphones entirely during class hours? My daughter's high school tried a strict no-phone policy last semester, and her teachers reported a noticeable drop in disruptions and better test scores. But the kids hated it, and some parents argued phones are essential for emergencies and even for quick research during lessons. I used to think phones were a useful tool, but seeing how much distraction they cause, I'm leaning toward a full ban being more beneficial than harmful. What's your take—do the educational benefits outweigh the risks?
