I agree that schools should limit screen time for students. Young people are still learning how to manage their own habits, and too much time on phones can hurt their sleep, focus, and grades.
When schools set clear limits, such as keeping phones away during class, students pay more attention and talk to each other more. This helps them build social skills that they will need later in life.
Schools do not need to ban technology completely. A reasonable limit, like no phones during lessons, gives students the benefits of technology without letting it take over their school day.

I understand that students value their freedom, but a school limit on screen time during class is different from taking away freedom completely. Students can still use their phones before and after school and during breaks.
Schools already set rules about many things, such as when students can eat or leave the room, because young people are still developing self control. A screen time rule during lessons is similar.
Giving students full freedom over their phones during class often leads to worse focus and lower grades, which limits their opportunities later. A small limit now can protect a bigger freedom in the future.
