Yeah, I agree, they're almost definitely misrepresenting how she phrased her argument in that thread because they're talking about it like she said that kids should be allowed to spend all class on their phones if they feel like it. I don't know what she originally said, maybe I just shouldn't comment on it at all because I CBA to go to twitter or whatever to find it.

if my memory serves, not that long ago she did a piece that in part debunks Jonathan Haidt's panic mongering about kids on phones, and i believe makes several points about why a student might have valid reason to use their phone during school hours, and that it doesn't make sense to just short-circuit your brain and start doing police actions at the kids.

edit: found the video she did about this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBLX3fzNIrE
