New Wisconsin bill aims to ban phones for entire school day, not just during learning time

Описание: Cellphone policies in Wisconsin school districts may once again be getting a makeover. Lawmakers are now considering a new bill that would ban cell phones for the entire school day. Many Wisconsin schools already have bell-to-bell cell phone bans in place, but Republican lawmakers believe making it a law will provide better support to districts. This differs from a separate bill previously authored, which passed in the fall and takes effect starting in July. That legislation bans cell phones only during instructional time, but allows phone use during open periods like lunch. This new bill is believed to have better outcomes. Whether phones are stored in a backpack, locker or at home will be up to individual school districts. Lawmakers say they worry about the mental health of kids and believe taking phones away all day will be more beneficial.
