back to 'like university', things like phones should not be used in class, but during breaks and lunch periods, why not? I don't see how anybody would ban its use for recreation.
Well I think its just the school doesnt want to be responsible for lost or stolen property so they ban phones outright and if yours gets stolen (which apparently happens a lot) they can say "you weren't supposed to have it in the first place" rather than having to investigate theft in the school.

Also cyber bullying.
