It would be beter to educate then ban outright IMO. If you ban the device outright kids will be sneaky about it. When I was still in school we hat smartphones and used it from time to time. Great tool for meeting with friends from other classes. Sending a message to your parents you can leave early or something. Outright banning phones is IMO stupid and only makes the problem worse. We should teach kids to be responsible instead.
