    They were allowing kids to use phones in classrooms up to that point…?

    When I went to school, if you were seen with your phone out during class it was confiscated until the end of the day. And back then all you could use them for was texting anyway haha.

    Anything that might distract from the lesson would be treated the same way, that’s just basic sense for any teacher.

    Why would teachers stop caring about phones in classrooms, especially given how famously addictive and problematic to attention etc we now know them to be?
