No, Virginia, Banning Student Cellphones Is Not A Magical Solution, But It Can’t Hurt

No, Virginia, Banning Student Cellphones Is Not A Magical Solution, But It Can’t Hurt
Inside the latest global research on school cellphone bans from The Hechinger Report provides a good summary of recent research on the topic. I do find it interesting that a fair number of people who don’t work in schools look at the research showing that it’s not a huge help, but then say it’s still a good thing. I, and I’m sure practically all teachers, agree about it being a good thing no matter what the actual research says. I wish all those people who don’t work in schools would also support other efforts that might have mixed research behind them, like smaller class sizes and teaching about a growth mindset , but that most teachers are also behind. I also wish those same folks would acknowledge more often that most elements that affect student academic achievement are outside of school ground s, and do something about them, too…. I’m adding this info to The Best Posts On Student Cellphone Use In Class — Please Contribute More .
