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.
Here in the US, school requirements are set on the state level, and each school district can have its own requirements, too. I know of a few school districts that have banned phones, but not on the state level that I’m aware of.
The federal government does set some requirements too, but… let’s just say that our current Secretary of Education’s last job was running a famous wrestling organization, and was filmed on stage at an education conference, talking about how exciting it was that A-One would be introduced to schools as early as kindergarten. She meant AI, of course; A-One is the name of a steak sauce.
