    That’s great and all, but you have to remember that your anecdotal evidence may not represent the majority. In this case, enough of the country is noticing a problem.

    My teen chooses not to take his phone to school because he knows it’ll distract him. But the stuff he tells me happens at school with phones blows my mind. It’s amazing half of the entire class isn’t failing tremendously.

    The county has had to become more lenient on kids’ grades that want to join sports teams because otherwise they wouldn’t have a team, it’s that bad.

      Your anecdotes and your kid’s anecdotes might not represent reality either. But somehow y’all are (violently) banning phones for everybody.
