Schools Just Proved This Strategy Actually Works

Teachers report fewer disruptions, stronger classroom participation, and students who seem genuinely more present during lessons. The results have been so positive that countries including France, Hungary, and Finland are following suit with their own smartphone bans. One education official summed it up perfectly: removing phones from classrooms is having “wonderful positive effects” that prove sometimes the simplest solutions create the biggest changes.
