I really feel every kid needs a class to teach 'life skills'. This class would teach about money, relationships, socializing, social media and respect and what does respect mean. I also feel it should be a required class to move to the next grade. Entering Middle-School is a perfect time to teach it

I think this should be taught at home, not in schools. I wouldn’t want a teacher to attempt to teach my daughter life skills.

Very negative impact on personal skills, interaction with others, Parents are to lax in checking on and limiting screen time. Get those kids outside playing with friends!!

I have a teenage daughter without social media. She has the option to have social media and declined. She stated that it’s distracting and that it bothers her how much her peers are using it.

Duh! Ya think? Take their smartphone away for a few hours and see what happens, a total meltdown. It's not a habit but an addiction, wake up parents!

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students
