Tag #Cellphone Ban

What are the primary reasons behind the growing number of states banning cellphones in schools, and what are the immediate consequences of these bans on students and the educational system?

At least eight states have banned or restricted student cellphone use in schools over the past two years due to concerns about mental health impacts and classroom distractions. Governors in Arkansas, California, and other states are actively promoting these bans, citing the need for a phone-free school environment to improve learning. This reflects a growing bipartisan movement to address the effects of technology on students.
