I went to school just before cell phones became normal. Why is a ban of them on school premises stupid? We were fine without them.

Because today society demands for people to be connected from basic payments for food in cafeteria being managed through a smartphone to parents keeping tabs on their kids or being able to reach them to do basic scheduling like pickup from school.
You can’t cut out one party from multi-party system reliant on the same technology to operate.
