Dramatic Results After School’s Mobile Phone Ban
There has been a dramatic decrease in behavioral issues, and a boost in physical activity among students at a Sydney High School after mobile phones were banned.
Every day students in years 7 to 10 at Davidson High School put their phone in a pouch that, once closed, cannot be opened without breaking the lock.
“Classrooms have effectively become phone free and this has allowed staff to focus on educating students,” principal David Rule said in a school newsletter. “In eight weeks of the policy there has been a 90% reduction in behavioral issues related to phones in the school.”
