The findings come from the Pew Research Center, which surveyed 5,110 US adults. The results show that 68% of respondents supported a ban on middle and high school students using phones in the classroom, while 24% opposed the idea and 8% were unsure.

Banned in classrooms? Nah. Use while you're supposed to be paying attention or working sure. But straight up just banned not in most places. And we're talking about kids and teenagers so good luck enforcing not using their phones when they shouldn't, which is why an outright ban would probably work better.
