I'm sorry, you think banning smartphones at school is going to stop cyber bullying? Because bullies infamously follow the rules and kids are at school 24/7?

I believe his point was that if students want to find a way to be distracted, they will - with or without cellphones. I know I certainly was able to distract myself with doodling lol
It's not about finding a way to be distracted, it's about having a device that's filled with shit that's meant to be addictive distracting you whether you are seeking it out or not.
