The ban on the use of mobile phones in American schools, the results were not met

During the corona epidemic, many people, including children, were under house arrest. Many people get trapped in the digital box to pass the time. Children were not left out. Children's lives were confined to small digital boxes to pass the time. From studies to games—everything was happening on the phone. Many children were used to it. For this, children used to take cell phones in school. This is not happening in the United States. The use of cell phones was stopped in Buxton School in Massachusetts. The school authorities said that the decision was taken keeping in mind the future of the students and their physical and mental development.

The reason behind the school authorities' decision was that students were becoming increasingly antisocial due to the use of mobile phones. Their physical and mental development was affected. Because the students were not playing, they were busy on their phones. So the school authorities took this big decision thinking about their future. The school authorities have benefited in two months.

By the end of September this year, a ban has been imposed on the use of smartphones in the 114-acre area of ​​the school campus. Students, teachers and non-teaching staff are also not allowed to use cell phones in the school premises. Because of this, students who come to school from home, they cannot come to school with a phone. And those who live in the dormitory, they will deposit the cell phone when they come to school. This decision has benefited. Now nobody is busy on mobile phone anymore.  

However, even if students cannot use mobile phones, they can use computers if needed.  

Buxton High School head teacher Peter Back said face-to-face interaction was not taking place due to being busy on the phone. Even after coming to school, he was spending time on his smartphone. They don't even talk to themselves. Children were forgetting how to tell stories. Students used to sit alone with their phones all the time. It was ruining the atmosphere of the school. Students are getting back to normal after banning mobile phones a few months ago. The school atmosphere is also back.
