A Connecticut middle school successfully implemented a cellphone ban using pouches from Yondr, a California-based company. The initiative was inspired by a Grade 9 math teacher's experiment in an Ontario high school, where 190 phone notifications disrupted a class. The approach received praise for helping students focus better without phones.
Brilliant! Every k-12 school in America needs to do this. Smart phones are like heroin. No kid can focus w a phone nearby. This school handled it so well. The pouches the school used sound like the answer. https://t.co/IR3dT7XjoG
