I think what Finland did is the right take because these are devices which kids do not need.

They can call their parents if required from the main office.

This is fantastic and once again shows why Finland is a pioneer in childhood education and why Americans and other countries are so far behind.

> why Americans and other countries are so far behind.

Americans sure, but not all other countries e.g. in Singapore, many schools make the students put their smartphones in lockers and don't allow access at all during school hours. In case of emergency, they can call from the Main/General office.
