It’s news to me that phones were ever allowed. They were to be locked in a locker until after school hours for my entire schooling (punishable by detention and seizure of phone).

- II2II 2y agoThe article notes that phones usually weren't permitted in schools, but it was difficult to enforce. Granted, the article doesn't give much reason to believe that it will be any easier to enforce. It suggests that they don't expect full compliance at the outset. Given the penalty is removal of the student from school, I doubt there will be much enforcement unless the phone is used to harass other students or staff. The more sensible solution is likely the one that you were exposed to: seizure of the phone.
