Didn't read the article, did you? It talks about that.

It was quite long. This is what I could find at the end while skimming again.

I asked if they thought education would be improved on campus if phones were forcibly locked away for the duration of the school day. Only one student gave me so much as an affirmative nod!

Among students, the consensus was that kids generally tune into school at the level they care to, and that a phone doesn’t change that. A disinterested student without a phone will just tune out in some other way. They also put forth the idea that the quality of the teacher has a lot to do with how much they’ll tune in. This take had broad support.

🤷‍♂️ If it's a problem or distraction it's gotta go away. But of course it's not the only factor. I didn't grow up with notifications in class but I was very distracted still. But a phone would not have helped me, let's just say that.
