Without constant messages, notifications, and social media updates, students say school feels calmer and less stressful. Many are talking more face-to-face, making stronger friendships, and feeling less pressure to keep checking their phones. Teachers also report fewer interruptions in class and less bullying. The phones may be out of sight at school, but many students still spend hours on them at home, keeping the screen-time debate going.
