Some children obey and don’t use their phones in the classroom.

Thing is, lots of parents don’t trust the public school system. The kid’s phone is the only evidence of abuse in the classroom.[/quote]

This, control your own child's cell phone use.  Simple.  Lazy parents want others to do it for them.  They just use the school computers instead.[/quote]

It is not about controlling your child's cell phone use. Even if your kid is somehow the one kid who can have a phone buzzing in their bag all day without looking at it, and who somehow manages to engage socially with peers during free/passing periods without looking at his/her phone. But even if that happens, other kids will not. Take it from somebody who has been a much later hold out about giving my kid technology. When all of their peers have phones and their faces are glued to them all the time, it really impacts instructions, and limits their social development. If the reason people think their kids need a phone is teacher abuse, yes abuse from teachers is scary, but a lot of things are scary. I would argue that statistically speaking your kid is way likely to be more negatively impacted by the phone.  And there are other ways to address problems at school that existed before cell phones.
