I can't believe it wasn't like that since the beginning.
How is it not one of the many distracting things they would ban immediately?
I think it has to do with the Columbine school shootings.
We're talking about France here.
And they still have phones in school in a lot of other coutries.
Some definitely tried. I got suspended in middle school because I forgot to turn my phone on silent and it went off in class. They had a "zero tolerance" policy, so it didn't matter that it was an accident
