    In the US you sometimes hear that phones in class are necessary to see if your kids are OK in a school shooting scenario.

    I think this isn’t a good argument, since school shootings are rare, and it’s unclear if each student having a phone would do more harm than good in that kind of situation.

      Also, dumb phones are fine. SMS and phone calls aren’t a problem, it’s smart phones that are addiction machines.
