“I would love it if we could ban phones at school” – US Academic However unpopular among students, as Mr. Lopez explains, the scientific data shows significant benefits in the new phone policy. That is – everyone puts their phones away at the beginning of class, which has been made mandatory for all teachers. Reflecting on how this policy could change, Mr Lopez explains: ” I would love it if we could ban phones at school. As a teacher, I hate that I have to always have my phone on me. […] I think about the class trips that we did recently. I like being out of service, not having texts, not having distractions, and being fully aware of what I’m doing. Unfortunately, again, for me, it’s part of the job I have to have it on. Will we ever get to the point where students don’t have it at school? | don’t know.”
