A horrific start to the new school year. And one that raises questions about efforts to ban cell phones in schools. I understand the motivation to ban cell phones in classrooms, and I agree with it 100%. However, the idea that my son won't have a way to reach me in an emergency is very scary, Delman added. I'm not a helicopter parent, but I want to be able to reach my child.
Gov. Gavin Newsom, in a letter to school leaders last month, encouraged districts to enact restrictions on smartphones on campuses. The evidence is clear: reducing phone use in class leads to improved concentration, better academic outcomes and enhanced social interactions. Every classroom should be a place of focus, learning and growth.
