How are you going to regulate that properly without violating the privacy rights of students or without them simply circumventing it? At my high school, tons of us have flashed our computers ourselves or don’t even use the school provided OS. Students don’t even care if the school owns the laptops, they circumvent restrictions anyway, so how are we supposed to stop tech literate teens from doing such a thing with smartphones?
Furthermore, my state, Victoria, has fully banned phones from being in schools outside of a student’s locker, but nobody cares, the only penalty is it gets taken away until the end of the day and we get detentions, but we all have techniques to hide them from teachers while using them, so banning is also ineffective for most.
