I personally think that responsible smartphone use should be learned and practiced, rather than outright banning them.

I think this shows that adults are terribly addicted to their devices and think if they can’t stop using them, children won’t either. They certainly can’t teach how to use phones responsibly if they can’t do it themselves. Unfortunately for children the result is an outright ban.

    clearly shows the tendency of people to ban things instead of finding a fix that isn’t lazy like, for instance, actually good digital education.

      So, should guns be allowed in schools, along with “good gun education”?

      Smartphones serve no real purpose in school. Why allow this very problematic device that is not conducive to learning and tends to cause problems outside the class, too?
