Parents tend to care significantly less about a $20 toy than a $700+ smartphone.

Meh leave it home then. That worked fine when I was in school until phones became widespread

Very true, but then leave it in a bag/locker.

And that's the real answer for how to handle phones in schools. Someone else said leave it home but I'm a single parent of a special needs child, he's taking his phone to school and the school can eat my ass if they don't like it. Never had a problem.
