My daughter brings her phone to school with her

- If he bus doesn't show up, she can call and ask us to come drive her to school

- If she wants to go somewhere after school, she can call us and let us know she won't be home at her normal time

- If she forgot something at home, she can call and ask us to bring it

- etc, etc, etc

There's a ton of reasons for her to have her phone on her. Enough so that, when she gets punished with phone removal, we generally still let her bring it to school.

The fact that the phone doesn't contribute to the schooling itself (although it does when she forgets something she needs for school) doesn't mean that it doesn't contribute to QOL overall by being with her at school.
