NYC to ban cellphones in public schools.

Sharing is Caring!

New York City Public Schools, the nation’s largest school district, is planning to prohibit cellphone use during the school day. This major policy shift comes in response to growing concern about youth mental health and the impact of smartphones on children. The ban will affect approximately 915,000 students. While students will still be allowed to bring their devices to school, they will be off-limits during school hours. This move represents a significant departure from current practice, where individual school principals set their own cellphone policiesAdditionally, New York Governor Kathy Hochul plans to propose legislation that would prohibit smartphones in schools statewide. It’s clear that there’s a nationwide movement to curb phone use in schools and address the effects of social media on children.
