"“I’ve noticed a lot more creativity with students, I think their attention spans are a little longer, they have excellent conversations in their groups, those conversations are lasting longer, our class discussions are definitely a lot longer and they’re a lot deeper because no one’s really focused on checking their phone,” Dan Katz, who teaches drama and law at Fort Lauderdale High School, said.
School board member Allen Zeman said fights are down 17 percent from the same point a year ago.
The top reason, he said, appears to be the cellphone ban."
Well. It would make some sense. In a Hypothetical. If one student posts something about another student. There’d be time for tempers to cool overnight. Instead of being at school. Where said student can walk across the Hall and Deck the other student talking shit in the face.
YAY!!! Common sense! A Broward County Schools news release said that banning cell phone use, even during lunch, led to “[p]rioritizing school as a place for learning that is distraction-free. This can help students stay focused on academics and maintain a learning mindset throughout the school day.” This should be done across the board! And kids should have limited access to tv, video games and no phones till they’re 13. They need that time to develop relationships and their own thoughts! Btw the DS media scared the crap out of parents that our child would be abducted so you’d prefer they sat inside watching tv.

Back to the 90s
No more electromagnetic energy going through the brain either.
Biden doesn't have that problem, having no brain.

I'm surprised it was Broward county that did this. Very liberal area.
We didn't need an Einstein to figure this out, just common sense, duh.

Also the EMF factor. Take away wifi as well and build an EMF free building and kids would continue to develop further.
Yeah, imagine what restricting communications of minors between one another can do for the fight scene which is 99% ego and 1% legit. Good call.
They should be focused on learning math and english not what each other had for lunch and who they fuck. Duh.
Cell phones and tablets should be like buying liquor, imo
