    They certainly picked a very… particular school to profile. It’s a private boarding school with a 62k per year tuition. They also gave all students replacement phones…

    So I doubt this would have quite the same positive effect in a more urban school where they ban with no replacement.

    I personally grew up in the era before cellphones, but even I can see that it’s a difficult sell to ban teens from using them.

      Yeah, not exactly a feasible route for the most public schools to take given that most public school money goes towards administration and voucher programs it seems.
