Cell Phone Ban Will Be Up To Parents

The dawn of a new school year comes with a new cell phone ban that has already generated plenty of discussion.

Be interesting how this will play out, but parents will play a key role in determining how well enforced the ban will be.

Right now, much of the concern has been about getting student and parent buy-in. My experience is that most kids and parents get it by now, that cell phones and classroom learning don’t go well together.

There will still be some holdout parents who want all day access to their kids, but I believe school administrators will hear more from engaged parents if the phones are not banned in class. Will also be interested in seeing if teachers themselves can practice what they preach.
