Comprehensive reporting, Dale. As a former middle school teacher when there were no cell phones, I can only imagine how challenging it would have been to begin a career, earnest to teach in a professional manner, only to have the cell phone menace. I applaud the school administration and teachers for their intelligent initiative!
FANTASTIC!!! it's about time. I wish it was in effect for my daughter's time at Analy as she is clearly addicted. I wish I knew what I know now but we're in the rabbit hole now and need to deal with it logically.
It's a subtle but powerfu parasite.
Im telling her to turn it off at night, keep it away from her head directly, and turn the wifi off at night (sleep) or get faraday bags but she won't listen and thinks Im overreacting. What can a parent do? Recently I said, "you wont listen to me but when your friends and mainstream says the same thing you will finally listen." Im so glad mainstream is waking up and taking action! More needs to be done but it's the right step and urgently needed.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING ACTION AND GOD BLESS OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES!
Yes. The challenge will be how to implement. Regardless, the issue of screen addiction is so important for ALL of us to confront. Students will complain, but they will feel supported and loved. I believe that all of us understand deeply that this is best for them, and that the ban is because we care.
Our human bodies and minds value real faces, real weather, real touch. Many of us adults are dealing with the same issue, and knowing that this serious concern is being addressed for our children helps bring it home for us, too.
A great step too long in coming. Now the Middle schools need to follow the lead
Thank you for efforts to tell important stories like this.
Laura, FYI,
see this from France about their pending social media ban. https://www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/article/2026/01/24/france-s-proposed-social-media-ban-for-under-15s-to-be-accelerated_6749764_13.html
