The findings come from the Pew Research Center, which surveyed 5,110 US adults. The results show that 68% of respondents supported a ban on middle and high school students using phones in the classroom, while 24% opposed the idea and 8% were unsure.

I dunno in America, school shootings are common and therefore I think students should always have access to their phones

It could probably be in a box or something by the teacher. Then they could hand them out during a lock down.
