Schools tackle phone use with strict new policies
During a recent government meeting, discussions highlighted the ongoing challenges and strategies surrounding mobile phone usage in high schools. Administrators reported that students are permitted to use their phones during lunchtime, which allows them to engage in leisure activities such as watching movies. However, once the lunch period concludes, students are required to put their phones away for the duration of their classes.

The policy allows for some flexibility during non-instructional times, but it emphasizes the importance of consistent enforcement by teachers. Administrators acknowledged that this transition may be difficult initially, as students are accustomed to having their phones readily available, especially after a summer of unrestricted use. The meeting underscored the need for a unified approach among educators to ensure that the policy is upheld effectively, fostering a focused learning environment.
