The iPhone debuted 17 years ago on June 29, 2007, launching the modern smartphone era that virtually every current K-12 student has been born into.
But students鈥� access to their devices during the school day stands to be dramatically curtailed. A growing wave of education leaders and policymakers are adopting new cellphone policies, with the debate swinging decidedly in favor of tighter restrictions. Limiting access, they argue, will benefit students鈥� mental health and learning.
Governors from both parties have called for bans, and in a few states, they鈥檝e already signed legislation that requires schools to crack down on students鈥� phone use during the school day. Bills to limit students鈥� use of cellphones in schools are pending in a few additional states.
