Or just don't have a cell phone at school. I survived just fine without one.

Which of those is analogous to having a distraction device in your pocket at school?

Yes if you completely change the context from things that are actively harmful to things that are life saving, it does sound stupid. But I was talking about the former, not the latter. 

You don't have a point, you're tilting at windmills because you have nothing better to do and wanted to feel superior to someone else for a fleeting moment.

Well you're wrong. Hope that helps. 

It's denying the premise that these kids need or benefit from having a phone. I think you'd benefit from a lesson on rhetorical logic.Â
