When my oldest entered elementary school, I was surprised that children were allowed to use their phones in classrooms. When I graduated in the early 2000s, we weren't allowed to have any devices that would be a distraction, and it's hard to imagine a device more distracting than a tiny pocket computer connected to the rest of the world. I hope this sort of ban becomes commonplace. I encourage all of the parents on HN to forward this news to their childrens' school districts.
