>Score results aren’t alone sufficient proof about whether a ban on phones in school is successful or not.

If the scores aren't increasing as a result of it, then why are we doing it? We're clearly not asking for legitimate input from the people who are actually impacted by these policies (students).

Also, everything "enables" bullying. Bullying is not a problem that's caused by things. It won't go away when you take the things away.

They're weasel words people use when their proposal doesn't actually work.

"It's totally making things better, you just can't see it in any objective stats."

Neither of those can be measured nor are they the reason we have schools in the first place. But they sound nice.

No. They have concrete definitions that are just inconvenient for your argument. A+ in mental gymnastics though.
