Why not just ban smartphones in school? There's ample research now that they're harmful to teen mental health

Is there research consensus on when children should be given phones? I would personally be very conservative about it, honestly.

I agree! There's a campaign pushing to avoid giving kids phones until 8th grade, but I think even that seems a bit too young
