Honestly so many parents are pro cell phone, we should develop parallel tracks of classes (think smoking/non smoking). Kids can sign up for the class track that requires they deposit their cell phone in locker; you get 3 strikes and then you are moved for the remainder of the year and the NEXT year to the unfettered cell phone track. In the cell phone track, kids are basically free to do whatever on their phone as long as it’s not actively disruptive to others. We basically had classes like that for kids who were not on an academic path and would spend class time doodling and passing notes.
