NPR - This year, more states than ever before are instituting bans on student devices during school hours. Many states say students learn better in a phone-free environment. Removing cellphones from the classroom has garnered bipartisan support, leading to a rapid adoption of policies across red and blue states. However, not everyone is on board with the change.
📱 Many schools will distribute locked bags to students for the
devices. The pouches cost about $30 each, which could be expensive for
schools with a large population.
📱 Zoë George is one high school student who is worried about how the new policies will impact homework and school work during free periods. She notes that students often use their devices to complete work. She’s also concerned that leaving campus for lunch could become harder with a bell-to-bell cellphone policy.
📱 Some anxious parents and guardians are worried about not being able to contact their children throughout the day. Alex Stegner, a teacher in Oregon, says he expects them to relax as the school year goes on.
