Additionally, 84% believe phones are causing real problems in schools, especially when it comes to distraction, anxiety, and even loneliness.
The survey also showed 56% of parents support either a ⁘bell-to-bell⁘ phone-free policy or a full ban on cellphones in schools.
Gov. Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 1105, a broad education bill that took effect July 1, which includes a ban on cellphones during the entire school day for elementary and middle school students.
Critics, however, argued that students need to be able to quickly get in touch with their families in case of an emergency.
School districts are working to figure out how to enforce the new rules this coming school year ⁘ whether that means locking phones away, collecting them in cubbies, or creating new policies around technology usage in class.
