Ah yes, it’s the children’s fault we haven’t changed our approach to education since the industrial revolution.
I texted and listened to my iPod in school, I can guarantee students have been disruptive and hard to teach forever. The phones may enhance their distraction but, students doodle, daydream, and dissociate all the time.
Want students engaged in schooling? Engage with programs that make education more interesting, and help students find better ways to learn.
You literally cut off the other half of that idea that explains the phones are not the center of the problem, and said they are the center of the problem.

You won’t change my mind: School needs to be engaging enough that students don’t seek distractions. Phones, books, clicky-pens, daydreams, doodles, writing, passing notes, all fulfill the same exact purpose of amusing a bored mind.
I was the type of child who quite literally would have been doing that, I did not learn most things they tried to teach until they left me the fuck alone to learn it myself (so after I got out of school)
I scored terribly most of my childhood on everything but as soon as I started in higher education and could I did
I cannot say everyone would but I can say as soon as I got the chance I did

Yes, that is why phones are increasingly banned during school. A whole host of distractions are banned during school.
We can (and should) do both!
