Fraud trial judge calls out Trump's since-deleted Truth Social post about his law clerk, threatens 'serious sanctions'A flat-out phone ban in schools could be around the corner in England.
That’s after researchers from the British government found that 29% of secondary school students say they used phones in most or all of their classes.I think it’s time more school districts in the United States do, too — and that’s because I know firsthand just how valuable school phone bans really can be.British Secretary of Education Gillian Keegan announced on Monday that her department is recommending a ban to all school principals.
As a result, my elementary and middle school memories are filled with playground games, conversations in the cafeteria and undistracted time in classrooms. The campus culture was quite the opposite of my prior school’s: kids scrolling during lessons, masses of zombies looking down at their phones in the hallways, and lunch tables full of students sitting right next to each other … but rarely conversing.A 2015 study found that removing phones from classrooms added the equivalent of an extra hour of instructional time per week.My high school experience is a cautionary tale.
