My son has instituted a ban on his own phone in classes during his freshman year of college. Not sure what the school policy is. Fingers crossed.

This year @dcpublicschools.bsky.social implemented a ban on phones and all screened devices. Caught up w a friend that teaches High School who said the change has been transformative and given him more optimism than he’s had in years.

This is awesome, I hope schools nationwide follow suit!
