New Hampshire lawmakers are proposing legislation to restrict cell phone use in classrooms, citing concerns about their impact on learning. State Senator Sharon Carson and Representative Rick Ladd have introduced bills that would require school districts to enact policies limiting student cell phone use during instructional time without a teacher's approval. The bills aim to create a more focused learning environment and emphasize the importance of listening to teachers' insights on effective classroom practices.

The guidelines would not be permitted to ban students from using devices to support their learning, though. Gov. Ayotte said in her inaugural address public schools are “not working” for every child, noting the state needs to listen to teachers like her husband, Joe Daley.
