How did it come to this, where it has to be a top down approach?
Some of my son's teachers have a policy of no phones in class. The ones that enforce it have a bag with pockets hanging on the door.
If the student has a phone when they walk in to the classroom, it goes in one of the pockets. If they get caught with it on them, it's detention. Simple and effective.
Don't understand why this has to be something enforced at the school district level unless the teachers no longer have any authority to run their classrooms

It isn't just about concentrating on individual classes, it is also about creating a culture that isn't focused on and actively promoting excessive smartphone use. You cannot expect individual children to create cultural change (and thereby socially segregate themselves); such change must be a top down approach to be successful.
