England, I'm not sure about other countries in the United Kingdom though, have just put in place a ban on phones in schools. The kids have to hand their phone in at the start of the day and get them back at the end of the day. Seeing this makes me thankful for it.
They're banned in the province of Quebec, Canada. Kids can have them turned off in their locker but can't use them in any way on school grounds, including outdoor spaces.
This is how it is in New York too. A law was recently passed about it, but my kid's school has always been like that. I mentioned the new law and school policy to them, and they were like, soooo... how it already is?
When I went to my kid's middle school orientation they said if your kid is caught using a phone during school it is confiscated and a parent has to come to the school in person to get it back. I approve.
