If we're talking about how it SHOULD be, the educational system to properly teach kids knowledge about life and not encouraging cheating (which a teacher has implied to do before) on some math equations.

never required and still do not require a phone

If your teacher does their job and teaches, sure. In the modern age where the teacher just tells you to "google it" then you DO Google it and it's blocked, yes you DO need a way to get information related to your studies online.

As an example:
I need to make an essay on a song... that I can't access because it's blocked. Literally today.

Phones are an extreme distraction to the learning process and coupled with social media...

I do agree with your reasoning though. Ideally the schools provided resources would be able to do this. However due to the fact that we have 2 IT guys for 4 schools, 6,000 students assuming similar size, there's not enough people to actually make stuff work.
