> Let schools set and enforce their own policies.

Most already were (my son's school was.)

> It seems to me that the main result of having an actual legal ban is that teachers are now prevented from using smartphones in class for teaching purpose if they wanted to.

All middle schools and up in France will soon be equipped with tablets. There's one large pilot happening in my region: books, assignments, quizzes, homework, etc... lots of it is done (at the teacher's discretion) on the tablet. It's great.

Music classes for instance are producing homework using garage band, etc...

Schools can pick their tablet. My son's school went with Apple. The high-school next door went with Android.
