What Happens When Cellphones Aren’t in Classrooms?
Riverton High School in Wyoming has implemented a policy banning cellphone use in classrooms. While initial adjustments were challenging, students and staff report improved focus, learning, and social interactions. Principal Thomas Jassman notes decreased student drama and bullying. Teachers find their jobs easier without phone distractions. The policy shift follows encouragement from Wyoming officials to regulate in-school cellphone use, with districts like Teton and Bighorn maintaining similar rules to enhance educational engagement and student well-being.
Sounds like a promising development in education, and anything we can do to support teachers and focus students sounds worth exploring.
