NYU professor motivated Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders to make changes.
Arkansas has joined a growing number of states that support cellphone restrictions in schools.As students at John L. Colbert Middle School in Fayetteville, Arkansas, attended the first day of school in August, principal Warren Collier knew cellphones were in every backpack. The phones, however, per a new rule, were required to stay in backpacks throughout the school day.
Huckabee Sanders wants schools to act to help clear young minds that are overwhelmed with texts and Snapchats rather than being focused on subjects like English and Algebra. Nearly a dozen states have already passed laws prohibiting students from using smartphones in school. Huckabee Sanders is also working to implement similar regulations for her entire state.
"Almost everyone had a smartphone front-facing camera on Instagram," Haidt said. "And now it's normal for kids to be doing this all day long. And that, I believe, is what caused this huge increase in anxiety, depression, self-harm." Additionally, she is traveling across Arkansas to encourage more schools to adopt a smartphone-free policy.
