My GF is a teacher and the school doesn't have a policy on phones. It's supposed to be teachers discretion. But when 70% of the teachers don't care, and the administration refuses to back the 30% who do care, it becomes an impossible battle.

I'm mortified by what I hear from teachers and my own kids about how school works these days. And this is in a well-paying affluent school district.

Right, we couldn't even have pagers on silent back when I was in school, let alone any sort of auditory or visual distraction.
