Schools given new guidance on stopping phone use

It has long been a struggle for educators to manage students’ use of cell phones in schools. However, new guidance has been issued to help schools effectively address this issue.

The guidance recommends implementing clear and consistent rules regarding phone use during school hours. This may involve requiring students to keep their phones in their lockers or designated areas during class time.

Additionally, the guidance suggests educating students on the potential distractions and negative impacts of excessive phone use in the classroom. Schools are encouraged to provide alternative activities and resources to keep students engaged without relying on their phones.

By enforcing these guidelines and promoting a phone-free learning environment, schools can create a more focused and productive atmosphere for students to thrive in.
