Classroom Phone Bans Work. So Why Don’t All Schools Do It?

WSJ:  Classroom Phone Bans Work. So Why Don’t All Schools Do It?

A large urban district in Florida saw an increase in student test scores. A smaller school district in rural California is experiencing a dramatic decline in student behavioral problems. The reason for both: the absence of smartphones in the classroom.

Public schools are administrated by political animals without the ambition or ability to run for office.  Some care about education, but no incentive rewards that.

Parents don’t push for phone bans because they don’t care about their children.  A flip phone with no data plan solves all these issues.  Parents are so eager to be liked, they willingly put their children in danger.
