    Is this uncommon? During high school in the US in 2005, we’d get our phones taken by teachers if they saw us with it or heard it.

      Phones now are a way more important part of people’s (and especially teenagers’) lives than they were back then. And they’re often also used to support lessons.

        I was in middle school in 2005 and had basically no friends largely because I had no phone to text with.
