I can try to make the material interesting and be engaging but if you're watching Overwatch on your phone all of that is a moot point.
You can just take away their phone in that case, no?
Not sure about OP, but my point is that phones can be useful. But if they're clearly not...
That means teachers would have to discipline, which means that the superintendent or school board would have to pay a fair salary and give fair tools, which means the state or city would have to up the budget, which means that we wouldn't be able to repave the roads in the nice part of town next spring.
What Utopia do you live in where the reason doesn't end with "which means we won't be able to line the pockets of our friends' companies?"
The friends live in the nice communities with freshly paved roads, but yes.
having to look at what the kid is doing and judge things on a case by case basis would eat into lesson time which is already stretched thin with class management as it is
You can just disallow phones during classes.
