There are obstacles that remove the power from a teacher to control the issue. For instance they couldn’t just grab your phone and put it on their desk and wait for a parent to pick it up. They would be fired. Also, there is likely more than one phone in a classroom, just how many eyes is a teacher supposed to have? 30 kids likely means 30 phones. They should be focusing on teaching, not putting out fires of annoyance. There is no reason a kid needs a phone in class. The phones are not helpful for a students focus of being educated.
