Teachers describe classrooms where half the room is somewhere else, one notification at a time. The evidence keeps stacking up: bell-to-bell phone-free policies improve focus, grades, and mental health, and both parents and teachers overwhelmingly support them.

We demand every school district adopt a clear, enforced, bell-to-bell phone-free policy, with simple exceptions for health needs.
