    Would this not be a ban on phones for kids and less on in class? I don’t think they would miss out on much during class time, but not having a phone at all would cause a social barrier in today’s world.

      Uhm yes. A second argument was that the children need to learn media literacy with the medium they use the most. Of course this would need more competence and guiding on the side of the teachers.

        If you’re adding another thing to teach, it would also require additional time. Teachers have full loads as-is.

          There’s plenty of absolutely useless stuff done in schools just because that’s how we used to do it.
