As a school teacher I have watched year after year as students become less interested in learning due to cell phone addictions.
There is a direct correlation from cell phone usage to classroom management. Students disobey school rules and don’t care about the consequences in a desperate defiance to keep and use their phones during class time. Students are networking with each other to meet in bathrooms to sell drugs.
I have watched student creativity slowly diminish as students would rather copy someone else’s idea. Students are no longer able to work in groups and collaborate without a tremendous push from the teacher.
Science shows schools who have completely banned phones are showing grades and socializing improving. If there was a National Ban everyone would have to follow the rule.
