So I'm super curious if anyone has a good reason to not do this. I'm generally for a ban but news like this always seems to get a negative response (at least here in the states)

My schools did this back in the mid-2000s and early-2010s. Strict rules on cell phones and electronic devices, weren't even allowed to have them on you, much less use them.

Never worked. Impossible to enforce without having the teachers play prison guard.

There have been plenty of trials, and many schools have done this voluntarily already (If only to figure out how to implement this new law), and from what I hear it's working quite well.

Because its super intrusive and helps Noone. Education with digital devices and about them is important, not forcing everyone to behave like the stuff doesn't exist...

Well the problem here is that phones are an addictive substance in a sense; they diminish capacity and create a near inescapable dopamine cycle for a developing mind.

Your comment might as well read “Education with Cocaine and Speed, and about them is important, not forcing everyone to behave like the stuff doesn’t exist…”

This is complete bs. And if you truly believe that then go live Mormon.

Given your attitudes to scientific study outcomes, I recommend perhaps you’d do better in a regressive society where science won’t bother you or prompt changes to behaviours you don’t want to change.

Bro sugar is addictive, shopping is addictive, cheese is addictive, fats are addictive...

You cant just say "Phone addictive so bad! Just like Cocaine!" you sound like a fucking moron and probably are exactly that.
