a group of teens on their cellphones in a classroom
The author supports banning cellphones in schools.
  • Florida and Indiana passed laws to ban cellphones during class; New York may join.
  • My children go to school in Montclair, New Jersey, and the district is planning to do the same.
  • I support the move because, as a teacher, I understand how phones are distractions in the classroom.

Schools seem to quickly be changing the rules around cellphones.
