Good, you don't need smart phones in school
For anyone screeching that you do: No. You don't.
We've been without smart phones for millenia, literally, and we were fine without. You will be fine without.

Good. Boredom is the key to learning. Well it should be interesting on it's own, but take what you got.
Of course the manner of learning in most schools is not ideal, kids find it boring for a reason, but without distraction they might latch onto some bits of information just to survive the class.
This mentality is why I almost failed higbschool. Boredom fails us who need to be constantly invested.

I mean... fine? France always does things kind of top-down and there's certainly no reason you have to have your phone readily available, and plenty of evidence it's good to be away from it.
It's not like they need to get to their phones to tell their parents there's an active shooter on campus. 😐
Good on you France!
I hope more countries start realizing how important this is. We have more than enough evidence demonstrating the damage that comes from being permanently connected, or even online for more than a couple hours per day, and minors are taking the worst of it because they are developing under those conditions.
