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.

The phones weren't designed to get you addicted to them back then.

Umm, yea, I was not a very social person and I was still on my phone for most of my classes lol and I was also still in school for "The Great Switch" when everyone just had smartphones after summer break (including myself)

You cannot honestly say the addictive pull of social media and games today is the same as it was back then. That's like saying weed and heroin are equally addictive.
