What happens when a #school bans #smartphones? A complete #transformation

Another effect has been a surge of students signing up for the school’s photography class, which uses film cameras. Enrollment nearly tripled. While a popular new #teacher may have been a factor, Light Phones also don’t have cameras.
I find the article quite superficial. Sure, the students are interested in analog photography again, but they don't learn anything about #media competence. What will they need more of later in #life?
