    How were they ever allowed?

    I was in school from the transition from no mobiles at all to smart phones. If you got caught with one it was whipped off you.

      At my school, they only cared if you used it, and you’d be forced to put it away if caught. A lot of my friends had phones, but they weren’t allowed to use them in class, and it was treated like any other gadget like a gameboy.

      I don’t believe in bans (kids can use them between classes), but I also believe kids shouldn’t use any devices in class.
