But what do students think? Only 11% of youth enrolled in K–12 schools said that phone use should be prohibited "bell to bell." But 60% did support at least *some* phone restrictions during the school day.

Sports betting sites market the industry as a game of skill but then ban players who consistently win. They only want players who have no skill. Imagine if that's what your investment broker did. A proposed bill in NY would bar sportsbooks from discriminating among customers. If you want to take bets, take bets. Don't base the business on only allowing people who are going to lose.

Phone bans might be necessary, but they are a white flag in the war for the attention of young people. More via @eduwonk link in reply.
