Why should phones be allowed in school for learning?

Why do some educators believe students should be allowed to use phones in school? Are there real educational advantages that outweigh distractions or cheating risks?

Phones can be great tools for quick research or using educational apps, but managing the risks is key. I found clear rules and monitoring help a lot. For balancing learning and safety, I rely on a good monitoring app. For real peace of mind, mSpy is my go-to for keeping an eye on school phone use.

Sounds good on paper, but does it really block everything? Proof?

I let my kids use phones for class research but block social apps during school hours with Google Family Link—takes 3 mins to set up schedules. Keeps them focused on actual learning instead of group chats without me hovering between meetings!
