    It’s not quite that simple, as you are kind of coerced into getting a phone at a very young age (usually ~8). So the good parents risk their kids being one of the weird kids without a phone, with all the ostracism and bullying that might come with that. It’s quite a dilemma actually.

      That’s up to the parents to do. Not up to the government to do. That’s not the government’s job. That’s the parents’ job. I do agree that devices shouldn’t be added to the school’s curriculum until later, instead of at kinder as it is now. But legally banning phones for <14 is offloading responsibility to an entity that should never have that responsibility.
