@fne8w2ah. When I was a kid, toys, whatnots, etc could be taken by the teacher to be returned when they saw fit or off to the office and whenever the principal decided. I’d assume the same rules would apply to a smartphone.

Parents tend to care significantly less about a $20 toy than a $700+ smartphone.

Meh leave it home then. That worked fine when I was in school until phones became widespread

Very true, but then leave it in a bag/locker.

And that’s the real answer for how to handle phones in schools. Someone else said leave it home but I’m a single parent of a special needs child, he’s taking his phone to school and the school can eat my ass if they don’t like it. Never had a problem.
