OP didn't say ban. They said restrict. Moderation is what's needed here.

  > A good starting point would be fully banning all phones for the entirety of the school day in K-12. Is what I was responding to in the grandparent of your comment

    “Banning” during a specific time at a specific location is not really a “ban”. It is a restriction.

      Oh I just realized I missed the "during the school day" part of the comment I cited. That's totally my mistake. For what it's worth, I agree with banning during the school day but (although no one is making the point here) I would disagree with banning them from children everywhere always.

  What is really needed is parents that teach their kids impulse control and how to prioritize, to know what is extracurricular and what is not. You can play video games, smoke weed, do whatever on your phone once your work is done, not before or during.

    As a society we need to help parents to achieve that. It’s not helpful to just blame parents.
