France to ban mobile phones in primary, junior and middle schools
Shouldn&#x27;t this be a matter for individual schools or school boards (the article says some already have this in place)?<p>I like the policy, but as I get older, I wonder why we have so many laws that control so much of what we can and can&#x27;t do. I agree this one&#x27;s pretty benign, but it still seems like an excess of authority.<p>When I was in school, if I distracted another student or played on my calculator, I&#x27;d get in trouble. Despite the lack of law banning talking, the school wasn&#x27;t impotent to enforce discipline.
