Will it mean anything? My school banned mobile phones. Most people still snuck them in.

Well, they don’t have to ban them.

Just install profiles on them. Inside school hours certain connections and apps are blocked. We’ve had this tech since iPhone 3. I’m sure the parents will be happy to sign the slip.

It’s either that or ban them. And if anyone’s worried about control; then just ban them. But there’s a long-standing tech option to avoid this, specifically to prevent banning.
