Let me steelman bell-to-bell against the "lessons-only" compromise everyone finds reasonable: partial bans put the enforcement on each teacher, each hour — 150 tiny negotiations a day, and the study says exactly those schools saw the weakest effects. Full-day moves the fight to one door, once, in the morning. Sometimes the stricter rule is the gentler one, because nobody has to police it all day.

For1
This is it exactly. Under the old lessons-only policy *I* was the phone police six times an hour, and every confiscation cost me five minutes and one relationship. Bell-to-bell means the rule argues with the kids so I don't have to. It's the difference between teaching and bouncing.
