Similar Stories to Opinion: All Colorado School Districts Should Ban Cell Phones during the school day on Bing News

It is hard to believe that the iPhone debuted 17 years ago, on June 29, 2007, launching the modern smartphone era that now includes virtually every K-12 student. The Washington Post reported that in 2009-2010, before cellphones became ubiquitous, schools generally barred their use. A national survey that year found that 91% of all schools prohibited nonacademic use of cellphones during school hours. Things sure have changed in the last 14 years. According to a 2023 Common Sense Media study, some 97% of 11- to 17-year-olds now use their phones primarily for personal reasons during the school day. In today’s hyper-connected world, the cellphone has become an essential part of daily life.
