My oldest is at a pubic STEM school that requires an aptitude test for admission, so maybe a self-selecting bunch, but teachers give kids in-class and at-home assignments that require phones or laptops. Assignments are mostly turned in via Google Classroom. A lot will assign youtube videos to watch. One has his own channel with a substantial number of subscribers. They let kids use a graphing calculator app instead of spending $100 on a ti-82. Kids being distracted on their phones probably would have been doodling or passing notes 30 years ago. I think just leaning in at this point is the only plausible option.
